Hi Carlos,

I use VFP and SQL 2008. From the VFP point of view, there are hardly any differences between SQL 2005 and SQL 2008. One notable exception is SQL 2008 now has a date datatype that you can use instead of having to use a datetime field.

There are some quirks if you're using the newer nChar and nVarChar datatypes instead of Char and VarChar, and depending on which driver you're using, SQL Server ODBC versus SQL Native Client (OLE-DB), you have different levels of success with those fields types.

I recommend SQL Server 2008 and using the older SQL Server ODBC driver with VFP. And just to make your life easier, I also recommend staying away from nChar and nVarChar datatypes if you can avoid it.

SQL Server 2008 is a great product.
