I have a very large vfp9 sp1 application with 4 dbc's and hundreds of tables in 4 different folders, all linked into a single application. All tables are linked using integer primary/foreign keys. All tables get the next primary key from a separate 1 record table with the same name. All the data entry screens use an object (scatter name) on the form as the data source for the textboxes. When data is entered/changed, that object is 'gathered' into a local view which updates the table.
I would like to keep as much of this design intact as possible because it works well and is very easy to maintain for an application this large. I would like to convert all this to dabo/python/postgresql by 2012 if possible. I want to be able to run on Windows and Linux and maybe even Apple depending on the market. I am getting more requests from clients about running on Linux. Has anyone done anything like this and/or beginning to work on it? Is there some 'canned' way to convert vfp9 data tables into postgresql and use the dabo framework so that it would allow me to view records, create some sql, etc for testing? And then possibly create some simple data entry screens just to prove some design concepts? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
