There is alot of conversion tools out there which will allow you to convert multiple database technologies without the hassle of syntax errors etc. All it consists of is authentication data entry and a simple button click. :O)

actually i not means that convert database only, but also move whole foxpro database to mysql database. but the foxpro source code remain.

So before move it, i wish to know that
1. is it the existing system(created by foxpro) will slow retrieve data from mysql database ?

2. any syntax, structure should i take care?


I convert the foxpro database to mysql database already. some of the data will be lose. like date format data. any method can prevent it?
