RE: Foxbase to Oracle

Not sure if Oracle provides one, but another solution is available here:

If it is such a small app though - why not just stick it in (dare I say this) something like Access or SQLServer..

Hi All -
We have a small application that was written in Foxbase under DOS. While it runs fairly well most of the time, the management wants to migrate it to a windows-based application. We are open to any mainstream application and database solutions at this point, although our budget is very tight and this application has only about 8 users max. My question is - does Oracle provide a good tool for migration from Foxbase? This is a small application and have only about a dozen tables, my main challenge would be the application code.
If Oracle turns out to be too expensive, what is the least expensive, least painful migration path? Another attractive option seems to be Visual FoxPro, which I know little about. I want to bounce it off the list first before we make the choice.
