FWIW, xCase has done an excellent job of upsizing VFP data since last century, including to and between SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Informix, Firebird, I forget all the rest. Customer wants MySQL? Create/migrate the database and regenerate your Remote Views, then prepare your invoice. ;-) Highly recommended.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
