Database Migration Pointers
by Chris Davis 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Hi All Before we start this just figured it would make sense to reach out to you guys for any general advice or pointers you can give. We have a typical multiuser VFP application using a DBC with DBF’s and local views. The forms that interact with this data all have a DE and for the deployed versions we have DPATHMGR sorting the DE paths out making everything work. We have no immediate need to change anything about from front end , it’s relatively straight forward and most of the code is based around TABLEUPDATE and TABLEREVERT. Our mission is just to loose the DBFs and move the data to SQL as our first pass. No intentions to make use of SQL things like stored procedures , we just want to treat it as a data dump for the moment. So after using VFPX/UpsizingWizard our initial thoughts are to replace the local view with remote views and then continue with the current method of CRUD via the views. Anything you feel is worth a heads up on for us to consider before we get on with it? Regards Chris

For a little while now, I've been getting this email newsletter called TLDR. In the one this morning, there was an interesting article about SW Eng's and how around 9.5% of SW Eng's do virtually Nothing! So, I figured I would share it with folks here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1859290734257635439.html L8r, -Kurt --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Charles Hankey, RIP
by Ted Roche 04 Nov '24

I'm sad to pass on the news that Charles Hankey has passed away. Charles was a colorful character with some fascinating history. Foxers may remember him as one of the team at F1 Technologies. I met Charles at the Toledo fox conferences ( https://tedroche.com/homepage/~tedroche/Photos/Index.htm) and knew him through a few forums. We reunited on the now-failed social media platform formerly known as Twitter and traded many stories of other parts of our lives and got to be good friends. He will be missed. https://www.nosek-mccreery.com/obituary/Charles-Hankey --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
