Our software assists to migrate or synchronize Microsoft Access format into Microsoft Visual FoxPro database. Convert and sync databases from MS Access (.mdb or .acсdb files) to FoxPro (*.DBC) or to FoxPro free tables (*.DBF) or save your data into a MS Visual FoxPro Program (*.prg).
You can convert all data, structure, tables at once or select set of data partially, map source table columns to matching destination table columns, filter rows by specifying WHERE conditions.
Use the configuration file, schedule a job and run the software in command line mode if you want to automate conversion and synchronization processes.
MS Access and MS Visual FoxPro databases comparison. Benefits of MS Visual FoxPro.
-
Microsoft Access is the most broadly used, very intuitive database engine and easy-to-use at first. Visual FoxPro, from other hand is a powerful RAD developer tool for creating relational database applications.
-
Access databases use variable length records. That is OK for small datasets, but as the number of records grows, navigation becomes slower. When a row is updated, Access locks the entire page, whereas FoxPro would only lock that row. As an application grows and becomes more complex, using Access starts to become a bottleneck and choosing FoxPro as a production database would be a reasonable choice.
- As well, FoxPro has some advantages in distribution of the final application. As a client/server development tool, Visual FoxPro is easier, more capable, offers better cursor and connection control, and has native SQL.
