I assume you mean you are still using VFP but are starting to use PostgreSQL on Linux as a database instead of the VFP tables. That is exactly what I want to do - and then eventually start rewriting some of my utility programs into Python and then someday rewrite everything into Python. I think there are a lot of people on this list that are planning or thinking about doing that. Getting started is a real pain. If anyone runs across some sample programs that would help please post information on this list.

Each month brings me closer to Going Dabo! My various implementations of my VFP apps that I have been cutting over to PostgreSQL have been doing great (mostly utility apps, nothing End User related yet). I am very pleased with the PostgreSQL performance and stability. It has been almost 5 months since I restarted the Suse Linux Server, and that was only because of a hardware piece I wanted to add to the Server. My Suse Linux annual subscription expires in late August I think, by which time I will have cut to Ubuntu Linux instead of Suse - just to save the annual subscription fee. This is a long process, cutting over to Linux & PostgreSQL, but I think my timing is pretty good all-in-all. Anyway, congrats to you and Paul on the new Dabo release.
