I am having a database in .dbf (FoxPro) format.
Taking the data to intermediate formats seems flawed as there are limitation with memo fields and CSV or Excel files.
If you are interested in a more direct approach you could consider something like “VFP2MySQL Data Upload program” or “Stru2MySQL_2”, both written by Visual FoxPro developers. Search for them on this download page:

DB-Convert (http://dbconvert.com/convert-foxpro-to-mysql-sync.php) is a commercial product that you might find helpful.
