Actually the quickest way looks like to attach those foxpro tables to an access database and exporting them in access directly to oracle. Provided you didn“t use lowercase, spaces and other special characters in your foxpro tablenames, should work like a charm. If you do have special characters, either change your object names or be prepared to enclose them in " everywhere in Oracle.
