What we need is an easy migration to PostgreSQL from VFP. Unattended =
installation from CD and a replacement for INSERT INTO FROM NAME, =
GATHER, etc
Then it would be easier to migrate to something like Python if necessary =
some day.
*********************************
Below is Joshua Drake's take on Oracle purchasing Sun:
I see a large possibility of mass migration from MySQL by non web =
applications.=20
The obvious choice is PostgreSQL because of the BSD license and the =
maturity of the software.
In conclusion I expect that MySQL in two years likely won't exist except =
on the most tertiary level. Most new projects will be developed in=20
either PostgreSQL, Firebird or one of the forks (MariaDB, Drizzle).
