I guess many people are too liberal in interpreting what a real database is. FoxPro is merely a data repository compared to Oracle/Sybase/Informix which can handle hundreds of users in a real-time OLTP environment with on-line backup and data recovery. It's like comparing a Cessna with a Boeing 747-400.
