Hmm you could probably write a perl script making use of XBase[0] to read the Foxpro database, then maybe use SQL::Translator[1] (thru the `sqlt' command and DBD::XBase DBD wrapper) to make the SQL. Using these couple should be possible to make a Foxpro to MySQL database dumper; see SQL::Translator::Manual on how to do this.[2] [0] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?XBase [1] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?SQL::Translator [2] http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?SQL::Translator::Manual Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
