Most of them have been written in VFP because it seems that SSIS is just painfully slow when dealing with FoxPro tables. The most recent import I created took about 10-15 minutes to import 96k records where the VFP import did the exact same thing in about 1 minute. It seems that VFP works with SQL Server better than the other way around.

Its been quite a while since I had to do large imports of data into SQL (ie: 500,000+ records), but when I did, I used the bulk copy program at the time (BCP). Anyhow, VFP would output to an sdf type file, then bcp would read via a formatted record layout structure. Process worked great and would read 1,000 records in less than a second into SQL.
