Situation: I've created a proposal for a new client for upgrading an old
FPW2.6 application to a web based application using PostgreSQL as the
DB. The client likes my proposal but they're wondering that if they run
out of money during the project, could they create a way to pull the
data down and populate the portions of their FPW2.6 system that isn't
converted yet. This 'pull' would take place on a periodic basis. Every
30 minutes?
I know that I can access PostgreSQL data via VFP, but I can't recall if
FPW2.6 can access PG data directly via ODBC.
As a fall back, I could write a VFP application that could pull the data
down, and then kick off a process to populate the FP data tables. If I
remember correctly that if VFP accesses FP2.6 tables then VFP tries to
update the headers of the tables.
This sounds like a major kludge. Best way to approach this backup plan?
