We are in the early stages of planning a migration of all our VFP 9 databases to Postgresql. Our VFP dbc contains
roughly300 tables and 8GB total data. Screen replacements are likely going to be HTML5/CSS3 based and report
replacementswill likely be one of the open source BI reporting portals. While we know VFP very well, and we use a LOT
oflinux elsewhere in the company - we know very little about Postgres. We do see a lot of tutorials out there for new
Postgresdatabases, but not much in the way of migration from VFP. We're curious to know if anyone else has gone through
asimilar migration that may have some advice on how to get started.
