Great idea but I bet it's a LOT of work

I think we'd be better having a true server version of VFP which is marketed as a low end (cheap) version of SQL server.
IMO One of the biggest problems with SQL server is the lack of record related commands - it's a real pain just to do something like a Scan loop
