The use of the ODBC driver and Advantage Local Server is free but severely limited w/o the Advantage Database Server () It doesn't support VFP stored procedures either. It requires to run DBCConvert.prg to convert DBC into Advantage metadata. Advantage Local Server is included with the driver, though.Īdvantage does not support direct access to the database container (DBC) file. IOW, it requires Advantage Local Server or Advantage Database Server. The Sybase ODBC driver is for Advantage Server which in turn can access VFP tables (including VFP 9.0 tables). The code below shows how to use VFP ODBC in SPT with DSN-less connection. See PRB: Problems with Visual FoxPro Driver "Fetch Data In Background" Option for details. Deleted=Yes is the same as SET DELETED ON.ĭetermines whether records will be fetched in the background (progressive fetching) or your application will wait until all records in the result set are fetched. A blank is inserted if Null is OFF.ĭetermines whether rows marked as deleted are returned. If you set Null ON, INSERT – SQL inserts a null value into any column not included in an INSERT – SQL. This check box is disabled when Database type is set to Free Table directory.ĭetermines whether columns created with ALTER TABLE and CREATE TABLE allow null values. To open a table exclusively, use the SET EXCLUSIVE command. Tables within the exclusively opened database are opened as SHARED. Other users cannot access the database or the tables in the database while the database is opened exclusively. For a list of supported collating sequences, see SET COLLATE.ĭetermines if the driver opens the Visual FoxPro database exclusively when you access data using the data source. The default sequences reflect the sequences supported by your language version of the operating system. For 32-bit applications under 64-bit Windows there's ODBC Data Source Administrator for the 32-bit ODBC drivers %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe (usually C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe). The VFP ODBC Driver can be installed under 64-bit Windows but 64-bit applications cannot access VFP ODBC driver because it comes only in 32-bit version.

In order to use it on Windows XP and later Windows versions, it has to be installed first.

The VFP ODBC driver was included in MDAC 2.5Īnd earlier and preinstalled on Windows 2000 and earlier. It'll not recognize any tables that use VFP7 and later new features and either ignore them or give an error when trying to access them. See VFP 6.0 Help file and Unsupported Visual FoxPro Commands and Functions (Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver)įor additional information. It supports a subset of VFP 6.0 features but not any new ones introduced in VFP7 and later. Visual FoxPro ODBC driver was last updated around VFP6 SP3.
