Oracle's PL/SQL language isn't the greatest for programming and user interface and they'll be tied to that (expensive) database. VFP can create an interface to use any/all back ends - native tables, MSFT SQL Server, and Oracle.

Yes, if it they want to go Oracle it would be for a back-end, it would take years to re-write the front-end including testing etc.
