Since it's really a SQL server without the graphic interface, you can simply write TSQL scripts in text files and run them line by line from Fox:

nHandle=SqlConnect(cString)
=sqlexecute(nHandle, cCommand1)
=sqlexecute(nHandle, cCommand2)

...etc, where cCommandx would be lines from your script (filetostr(), alines() and then for...endfor).

Yes it's pretty much back to dot prompt, you have to do everything manually, but it's doable.
