SV: Foxpro Programming

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Experience with SQL Server is fine if they use VFP as a front end for SQl
Server. Any experience with the standard SQL language is fine as VFP also
implements SQL 92 - particularly VFP9 for VFP data tables.
One thing to get used to - the main object you're working on are not
RecordSet objects or arrays or variables but cursors.
