First, I'll help you out a little. DBF's don't lend themselves well to large systems. For the last 10 yrs or so many IT depts of large corporations have put VFP/DBase, etc. on the not approved list. DBF's being the main reason.

For the rest, you're going to have to do some keyboarding yourself. Try finding a comparison of SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and tell me how Foxpro fits into that equation.


>>Unfortunately that show's your ignorance about technology. To compare VFP to Oracle, SQL Server, etc., is foolhardy. But just for my edification, what praytell would cause you to compare the two?

>>>Thank you. I'm retired, so I'll keep on plunking away on VFP because I know it better than other languages and it is all I need for what I do. But on the other hand, I see a remarkable development tool being cast aside and that bothers me. I have always viewed VFP as a possible Oracle killer, but MS never went after Oracle which to this day baffles me.

>Well then, I suppose I'm ignorant. I had always kicked around the idea of VFP evolving into the world's best database platform and eventually a VFP version for larger systems that could take on Oracle head to head would be offered. Please, take the time to explain the difference, other than PC/mainframe, to me.
