Re: FoxPro Conversion Kits

To which conversion kits are you referring? Do you mean the Visual FoxPro Upsizing Wizard? If so, my experience is that it is too clumsy, slow and otherwise limited. I have (at work) imported data from FoxPro using SQL*Loader. It is a relatively clumsy process (it's a DOS command-line utility), but it does work. I've used it to import a table of over 600,000 records.

Just as I became comfortable with SQL*Loader, I was told that our DBA had an even easier way to do it, using remote views in Access. I haven't seen how to do that, but I'm told it's much faster and easier than SQL*Loader.

I'm not sure if that answers your question, but I hope I was at least close. I, too, am involved in a large FoxPro to Oracle migration effort, and I'd like to hear of your experiences, good and bad. Maybe I can learn something. Thanks!
