You're likely to get more than an approximation. For some reason many FoxPro developers have the notion that FoxPro is the fastest DBMS on the planet lodged in their heads. In fact, SQL Server is faster than FoxPro in most cases, and is MUCH faster under heavy load (i.e. large tables and lots of users). The only advantage FoxPro has over SQL Server is price.
