Title:
Anyone out there use Delphi & VFP?
I have a potential client that I need to convince to move from Clipper to VFP (or I don't get the job!). The programmers are predisposed to moving to Delphi/Oracle.
They process millions of billing records each week and spit out reports. I don't think any single batch approaches 2 gigs but I'm sure historical data is huge. They eventually want to move to a web delivery system and do not offer shrink-wrapped software to customers - no UI issues. They crunch data and spit out reports.
It sounds like a job for VFP and a backend for historical data. My problem is that I do not know enough about Delphi to speak intelligently about it, and why VFP would be a better choice.
Obviously, the programmer know Clipper so the learning curve would be easier. The Command Window would come in handy for quick browses. Tahoe = middleware.
What else?
Thanks for the help..
