>
>>As I was learning MSFT SQL Server (evidence my newbie questions on this forum), my customer informed me today that the don't want SQL Server, they are an Oracle shop. (Any suggestion on how I can kill myself painlessly? <g>)
>>
>>Anyway, I think I have to switch to learning Oracle.
>>
>>Since there is not a section on UT for Oracle I am posting my questions in the SQL Chatter:
>>
>>1. Has someone developed VFP applications for Oracle backend and they work? <g>. Seriously, I need to know if I am not getting myself in a hole that I won't get out, ever.
>>
>>2. Any books on learning Oracle database, especially when it comes to working with VFP? Or just books for Oracle newbie?
>>
>>3. Any other suggestions, please. Even such as "forget about it" <g>.
>>
>>Thank you.
