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).
