Paul, Believe me I would like nothing more that to get rid of FoxPro and convert it to MySQL. Sadly, that's not possible right now. I'll check into dBase. Thanks! Floyd On Jul 19, 2009, at 4:53 PM, Paul M Foster wrote:

We currently use the Easysoft ODBC Bridge to connect to a remote FoxPro database. The problem is that the bridge, after a while, starts consuming a ton of system resources and we have to reboot the machine. Afterwards, it can take upwards to two hours before everything is running quickly again. We need another solution. Does anyone know of a any other way to connect to a remote FoxPro database (or any ODBC source that isn't a database server)?
No way to convert the FoxPro to PostgreSQL or MySQL? FoxPro is ancient and decrepit (I used to code in FoxPro). There is a dBase module for PHP. I don't know if it handles generic xBase files. I don't know much about the module, but you could check it out. Paul --Paul M. Foster --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
