Hello,

I have been assigned a task of migrating Foxpro databases and programs manipulating these databases to SQL server 2005. I have successfully migrated FoxPro databases using SSIS. Now I want to write SQL Code to work on the newly ported databases just as my previous foxpro programs did. I would like to know which is the best way for doing this ie Should I use standalone SQL Server Scripts or use stored procedures or write some stored procedures and call them thru SQL scripts. BTW, I dont have a front end for this application and there is no user interaction required. The user just wants to see the data in SQL tables. I am new to SQL Server and I am facing this design issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best

Maybe you should have a look at MS SSRS (reporting services) to create an interface for "just loking at the data"?
If that is a bit oversized for this I would go to create views to show the wanted data.


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I can use SSRS to report the data but I am really confused about how to process the data that I have imported. Earlier my foxpro programs where working on the data but now should I replace my Foxpro programs with SQL Scripts or SQL scripts calling stored procedure or just stored procedure. What is the right and the best way to do it?
Awaiting a reply
Cheers
