Re: Conversion of data from Foxpro to Oracle

The easiest thing to do is to use one of Foxpro's utilities to dump the records to a flat file. Either make the records character delimited (like ',') or a fixed column width. Then use SQL*Loader to read the flat file into a table (or two). Refer to the Oracle Docs for more information on SQL*Loader.
