Hi all:
No nibbles on my message when I first posted it; so, figuring that it
might have gotten lost in the shuffle, I'm going to try sending it out again
and see what happens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just wondering what everyone else has done when migrating from one
version of VFP to another in regard to copying data from one database to
another.
The situation I've got now is that I've got an application currently
running under VFP6 and the client wants to migrate to VFP9. Normally, this
wouldn't be a big issue, but the client doesn't want everyone moving to VFP9
all at once. They want to test things out first with one or two people, and
then move everyone over after testing is done.
I'm trying to automate a process to move all data from the tables in one
database to another, but I've hit a snag. The database itself is named the
same, and I can't find any reference information on how to refer to two
different databases that have the same name at the same time. I know that I
can alias a table with no problem, but can I also alias a database?
Any suggestions on how best to accomplish this, short of changing the
database name in the newer application, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
