I plan to develop a Database application based on Visual Fox Pro 8.0. Is VF
8.0 a RDBMS ???? Does Visual FoxPro 8 conforms to each of the 12 rules of Dr.
E.F. Codd ??? I would be thankful if anyone can provide me some documentary
proof that VF8.0 is a RDBMS .

Thanks.

VFP is an OOP programming language with a built-in data engine.
The built-in data engine is file-server based and not a "RDBMS", i.e.
client/server backend like DB2, MS SQLServer, Oracle or PostgreSQL.
With VFP, you can always use any of the above as your backend instead
of native DBFs though, via Remote Views, CursorAdaptors and SQL
PassThrough syntax. So "it depends".

Are there any RDMBS packages that conform to each of the 12 rules of Dr.
Codd?
