After reading this handbook you will have the knowledge to: • Configure and optimise shared connections with the database server. • Create and optimise remote parameterised views. • Execute SQL pass through onto the database server both synchronously and asynchronously. • Upsize and modify database definitions on the server from FoxPro. • Design and optimise a client-server application. This book was originally written for Visual FoxPro 6.0 and has been updated and tested fully with Visual FoxPro 7.0. New techniques such as accessing ADO recordsets from FoxPro and storing data as XML files is not covered and you should investigate these if you are using VFP 7.0 and need to interface with other application architectures.
