I don't understand why you need to transform a dbf file using sql. Your
original message said you had a text file of coordinates which you wished to
turn into a shapefile.

Perhaps the shapelib tools will be of more use. They provide utilities to
create & insert data into dbf files as well as the shp file. (as well as tools
to extract the data from shp & dbf files). See
