Hi,
Coming from legacy software development tools (dBase and Foxpro and old clients that do not want to break things that works, the do want to have a copy of data from remote locations).
Previously I just provide a CSV builder and they send the files to the party that requires 'em.
Now they want more and still wants to maintain the legacy programs. I don't know any PHP. I don't know about those big databases. I just can follow instructions and read installation guides. FormTools really helped me in the new need.
I just create a small program that reads a dbase records and send them to process.php in my FormTools installation. Then another program on the receiving end to download from views created within the receiving form. I gotta to keep my old knowledge and use new things without even going through the steep learning process (PHP and MySQL).
Its been 4 years since and going strong....until...(this is another story)

This week, there's a form with a 780k+ records and I cannot view the submission, got 500 Internal Server Error.
Been talking with web host support and they are still working on the issue.
Nowadays, I kinda left Foxpro and move on to C# and SQLite for local database. Still not learning any PHP or MySQL. FormTools again to the rescue for solving data sharing with remote users.
