Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Foxbase to Oracle
Thanks all who replied.
I agree that for this app SQL Server might be more suitable. My main
concern is the application code that enforces business logic. How do we
migrate the source code into the new application without re-rewriting? I
will definitely look into the tool recommended by Mike. But if we are to go
with SQL Server or Access, what do we do with the application code?
Thanks again

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
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.
TIA
