Hello,

I have a general question concerning FOXPRO 9.0 and SQL Server 2003.
I have a client now that wants to buy my application that is written in vfp6.0
and he is not very convinced to fox pro solution since he says that SQL
Server would be better and stable. It is rather a big clinet for me - his
database will grow about three milion records per year starting form empty.
He will have about 10 computers working simultanously on the database. Do you
think that foxpro 9.0 will manage such an amount of data in multi computer
scenerio or I have to lok for an application that uses SQL Server as a
database? Can Foxpro 9.0 be better than SQL Server with such amount of data ?

Thanks in advance
for advice
Marek
