I use the upsizing wizard to create the SQL needed to create the Oracle tables only. Then I open the tables where VFP puts all this stuff and copy and paste the code to a SQL Plus script file [e.g., cr8_tables.sql]. Then I launch SQL Plus and run these scripts. At the SQL Plus prompt you type: @c:\scripts\cr8_tables to run a script file. Any thing I do in Oracle from SQL Plus is maintained in a script file for documentation, extreme disaster recovery or if I just want to recreate the database on another Oracle server.

For development purposes, I have Personal Oracle installed on my local machine.
