>With us there are several reasons. The first is data security for personnel data. The second is we have about 1000 users scattered over 6 floors who are divided among 12 Novell servers on a LAN. Our Oracle server provides a really easy common server for our databases. Much of our data is also used for GIS [ArcView]. Lastly, we can more easily serve data up to our intranet and internet.
Are you saying dbfs are not as secure as oracle.database? Perhaps dbf security can only be controlled at the NT level whereas oracle has roles?
BTW. I use foxweb for vfp dbf's on my web intranet. Real easy.
