Sybase Advantage Database Server from Sybase, an SAP Company, is a full-featured, high-performance, true client/server database engine. Advantage allows FoxPro developers to develop powerful database applications with complete client/server database control. Most importantly, FoxPro developers can retain their ISAM-style data access methods while utilizing Advantage's complete SQL engine for optimized data access. Along with providing data-integrity and security, triggers, stored procedures, full-text search, replication, and more, Advantage also provides unique functionality to the FoxPro market because of its native support for DBF tables including support to DBF tables greater than 4GB and a migration path to .NET without any VFP code changes.

Do any of these issues sound familiar? Advantage can help because of its native support for DBF data.

I have tables that are nearing or over the 2GB limit and I am forced to get creative when dealing with them. Advantage natively supports DBF tables greater than 4GB; no data conversion is necessary.
I want to use a different technology to extend my VFP application (for example, to the web) but I don't have the time, resources, or money to rewrite my application. Advantage allows you to concurrently share your DBF data with other technologies. Leave your current VFP application alone with no changes and share the data with a newly written Visual Studio module for web access.
I need to increase my application's security but have reached the limits of DBF tables. Advantage provides increased security features such as encryption and hiding DBF tables on the network using your existing data.

How is it all done so easily? Stop by the Advantage booth and we will show you how or visit our website http://www.sybase.com/foxpro

"I have been using GeneXus for my VFP development since 1995 and have developed many medical applications using GeneXus. With my small staff, I could not have done it without GeneXus. Now, using GeneXus I also maintain a .Net version of my solution. I will be at the GeneXus booth for SWFox 2010 to answer any of your questions. Stop by, or attend the Case Study presentation."

FoxInCloud gives your Visual FoxPro application a second life on the Web.

FoxInCloud is a Visual FoxPro layer that enables your existing application to run on the Web, while continuing to operate as is today with the very same code base.

Rather than migrate your application to another technology, FoxInCloud is about adapting it: you rework less than 2% of your code with no impact on its structure and business logic.

FoxInCloud converts user interfaces into open web technologies, compatible with any browser and client platform. You may use custom HTML rendering, CSS or JavaScript to upgrade the UI "look and feel" to modern Web design.

You save years of work, avoid migration risks, and focus your learning effort on proven, open and reusable technologies.

You may freely download the FoxInCloud adaptation wizard to quickly identify the lines of code needing rework and, very soon, perform a large set of adaptations automatically. http://www.foxincloud.com

The Foxfire! Report Writer v8+ product line is a family of data mining tools designed for regular business users.

Its new interactive drag-'n-drop design tool (released May 2007) has been praised by users and usability experts alike for simplicity without sacrificing power. Micromega Systems, its developer/publisher offers Foxfire! consulting, integration, and training services. Our growth strategy is partnering, and we are currently seeking other developers who want to partner to create custom or localized versions to address special market opportunities.
