Hi Alok & Amit,

Thanks for your suggestions. MySql, PostGRESql, or SQLite are OK. But my
question was whether I shall be able to port all my "Foxpro for DOS"
programs to linux platform. Is reverse engineering an option? Otherwise, I
have to rewrite all my projects. That is a tedious task.
I do not know about SQLite. What are its differences from MySQL?
