  • My migration is moving along (thanks to all your help) and I have the first simple standalone module in production. This one is pretty simple: read a couple of DBF’s, create a data extract and a report.

    I’m now planning how to migrate the core system.

    Before discovering XSharp, my plan had been to convert the code from Clipper to Harbour (still using DFBF/NTX) which I did, then migrating DBF/NTX to MSSQL using OTC’s mediator RDD. Short of a few coding changes, migration to MSSQL using Mediator with Harbour is quite simple and performance is pretty good.

    What is the easiest path to migrate from DBF/NTX to MSSQL?

    Thanks,
    Roland

  • Hi Roland,
    I would way: it depends.
    It depends largely how many data is contained in your tables.
    I may point you here:
    www.xsharp.eu/articles/the-plans-they-are-changing
    www.xsharp.eu/articles/progress-update-summer-2022
    www.xsharp.eu/articles/what-s-cooking
    These articles are describing a bit what is planned and what the devteam is working on.
    For sure Robert can say more about these plans how they are proceeding and when you can expect something (It may be that you need a FoX subscription for some of these tools).
    And I know someone that has written a RDD on top of MySQL for VO and is using that.
