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

["George Stan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12798463#action_12798463 ] 

George Stan commented on CAY-808:
---------------------------------

Wouldn't be easier just to use some tool to migrate the data from Foxpro to another more "actual" database (one that Cayenne has complete support for)? 
There are quite a few tools that convert or import Foxpro file formats.

Besides, if I remember, the file format has changed during the versions, so it would be required to support different versions of Foxpro and VisualFoxpro as well - and this would be just too much.

> 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?
