I'm developping an application which should access a lot of foxpro dbf
tables on a file server ...
I'm thinking of 2 ways to access data :
- advantage local server
- dbexpress with an odbc driver to foxpro
the solution has to be free of charge ! (except for the delphi entreprise
software)
any body used one of these (or may be another way) ? what would be the best
choice for performance ?

6.0)? It is licence free and is an awesome database (stable, fast,
very low maintenance, powerful) I think it is better than SQLServer on
all those grounds. Delphi has components that connect natively
(Interbase tab) so you don't need the BDE at all. I use it all the
time and find it to be rock-solid, reliable and very fast. You can
import all the FoxPro tables easily enough.
 

Well I have to use the foxpro tables as is ... Since they will still be
running old dos/foxpro programs on them ....
Thanks anyway..

with Delphi and the Interbase components. Suggestions about where to
look/what to read, or even sample code, much appreciated.
