>Was sitting here checking the client/server section and I got to wondering how many VFP developers other than myself use SQL Server? How about Oracle? DB2?
We made the switch several months ago, mainly because we were nearing the dreaded 2GB limit on several of DBCs. It was a pretty rough switch, since the entire project had to be tweaked to be SQL Server-friendly, but it was well worth it:
- Much looser size limitations
- Much faster queries
- Much more stable
- Opens the door to front ends built on different platforms
...just to name a few of the benefits. As a Programmer/DBA, my focus has shifted from from FoxPro programming to Database Administration, but the benefits to the project have been tremendous.
