I never use the upsizing wizard to upload the data to Oracle. One way to do this is to create the Oracle tables, then create remote views to each Oracle table. Then issue CURSORSETPROP('Buffering', 5, 0) at the command window. When you open each view, open them with the NODATA clause. They will also be opened in with optimistic table buffering. You can then APPEND FROM or INSERT INTO or do whatever to get the data into the view. When all the records are there and the data is correct, issue a TABLEUPDATE(1, .t., 'view_name') on the view. Now be patient as VFP sends the records to Oracle. Close the view and repeat for the next view.

I open the view as table buffered so each record is not automatically sent to Oracle when a new record is appended or when you move the record pointer.
