Basically a function wrapper for every single FoxPro command and then a massive find/replace. In other words there appears to be no attempt AT ALL to optimize the application for SQL.

I agree it did look like they created a SQL function wrapper to FoxPro functions. The code base we looked at they didn't give the actual code in the SQL function that replaced the FoxPro function. Which is IMO the hart of the SQL upgrade.
