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
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..

While I hate doing this on an Oracle list, you might want to consider SAP DB
considering your limited budget and requirements. The general product

On Tom Kyte's site asktom.oracle.com he had a question about the cost of
Oracle vs. SQL Server. The upshot was that Oracle offers some fairly
inexpensive options for small applications.
Oracle SE with small numbers of users is very inexpensive. You are looking
at $1,500 USD for 5 named users.
