Turning automatic nulls off for inserts to FoxPro tables through NHibernate using JetDriver isn't working.

I'm using NHibernate with Burrow and Fluent to shuttle data from SQLServer2005 into a directory full of FoxPro 7 dbf's. When I try to save a new record through Burrow's GenericDAO, I get an exception that boils down to "Field XXX does not accept null values," where field XXX is a NOT NULL field that is not being mapped at all because it...

How to read FoxPro Memo with PHP?

I have to convert .DBF and .FPT files from Visual FoxPro to MySQL. Right now my script works for .DBF files, it opens and reads them with dbase_open() and dbase_get_record_with_names() and then executes the MySQL INSERT commands. However, some fields of these .DBF files are of type MEMO and therefore stored in a separate files ending in...

How to get the data from fpt and dbf (foxpro) files?

Hi! The files .fpt and .dbf(made in foxpro 8) have the text (readable for humans) which I need to get or at least to see. But I can't do that.

Reading Foxpro database date field using PHP

I've wrote a PHP script to export a Foxpro database to other formats by using ADODB (http://phplens.com/lens/adodb) library to access Foxpro OLE DB provider. Everything worked fine except the date fields are mangled and become like these: 11/17-/2-00 3/4/-20-08 By comparing to actual data I can guess that it is probably in the forma...

How do I get FoxPro to snap-to-grid on an English report layed out in Metric?

So I've recently had to create a report that emulates a Canadian customs form. The problem is that the report is printed on 11" x 14" paper, but uses a metric layout. As my FoxPro installation is on a machine with US-English units-of-measure, FoxPro tries to oblige by using an English ruler, and doing snap-to-grid on inch-based measure...

Corp IT Systems direction. Invest in A or B?

This is more of a general question about which direction would be a better investment for the company. Our company's core business application is written in Visual FoxPro and is about 9+ years old. The database is huge 15+ gigs and the core logic is complex and to make matters worse the data model is terrible. The two guys that built i...

foxpro cursor size

This seems like such an easy problem, but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. My co-worker and I are working on an application that makes use of the Foxpro xml dump facilities. It works great, but we're wishing to split the table into multiple files based on some size constraints. This seems like it should be the easy part: How...

Best way to do FoxPro unit tests for SBT/ACCPAC/Sage Pro Series?

Title says it all. It appears to be extremely difficult to design a generic test harness for Pro Series because of the way forms are invoked, etc. The problem I face is that while I can invoke each form, and the logic for the form is (generally speaking) logically separated in a different class, there is to my knowledge no way at this ...

SQL - Return limited number of rows, but full row count

Scenario: I need to pull information out of a Visual FoxPro database; however, running large queries against this has a tendency to lock the system up. To resolve this, we put limits in place that cancelled the query if it ran past a certain amount of time, and limited the number of rows it would return. Is there a way to have a query...
