[jira] Commented: (CAY-808) FoxPro adapter

["Joseph Schmidt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12694962#action_12694962 ] 

Joseph Schmidt commented on CAY-808:
------------------------------------

Foxpro support would be an incredible help for many developers stuck with ugly legacy applications.

If such an integration can't be tested because of the Apache license restrictions, maybe it would be a good idea to host those tests somewhere else. Other Apache projects also seem to have components or functionality outside of Apache.org just to avoid these restrictions.

> I've written a FoxPro adapter that is good enough to connect to a FoxPro database to fish out basic fields.
> Currently all committed Cayenne adapters include support for reverse engineering and schema creation. I think that's overkill for MS Access and FoxPro. FoxPro and MS Access would only be used in applications for bug-by-bug compatibility with some existing application and not as a backend for Cayenne if the developer has any say in the matter.
> Couldn't Cayenne support adapters of two types: full and simple? Simple being only basic read/write access?
