Mostly I work with a very powerful databasetool named
FoxPro. With a powerful tool like FoxPro I can DO LITTLE
and let the computer do most of the work (get the hint
?). Sorry to say this program isn't very well known here
in Sweden despite the fact that Microsoft owns it since many years. What's so good about Foxpro then? Well
for starters you could read an article from Microsoft on
the subject
VFP's role in database application development or this one regarding
Visual
Foxpro and the WWW. The well known site www.whatis.com
says this on Visual
Foxpro. Is VFP only good for small projects? Even if it's perfect
for smaller projects (from 1 to 50 users) there are examples of apps
with over 500 concurrent users, even with the
built-in database engine. But there are also very large projects where
VFP is used as a frontend to SQL-Server or Oracle databases. Two of the
most wellknown are: The "Chunnel"-project
which handles planning and administration of the tunnel under the the
British Channel (>128 GB data) and JFAST
which is used by the US military for planning transportation of
personnel, supplies and vehicles. This app was called "US
Military's secret weapon" by Advisor Magazine. Another
interesting article is Economics 101 by
Les Pinter and an interesting analysis on choosing the right database
tool you can find on Clearform.

For the moment being I use this tool to manage pretty
big databases (>7.000.000 records, >1.800 Mb) in a PC-environment for a company named SDR Svensk
Direktreklam. Our website is at http://www.sdrgruppen.se.
I also have other colleagues here in Sweden using the
same tool as I do, here are some of them : Curten Wijk - Dataexpress, Hasse Wigdahl, and Wadsworth Data Systems AB |
