I need to move quickly back to PA from Michigan. I've got enough stuff
for a decent sized pickup truck, but I've only got a small car without a
trailer hitch. My challenge: how do I get all of my stuff (again,
could fit in a pick probably) back to PA in the most affordable way?

Why would someone do a varchar(1).it's no different in terms of
space-saving optimization that char(1), right? Just found this to be odd.

What steps do you take when preparing to migrate data stores from DBFs
