Applications / Re: Need New Database
2008.03.04, 20:19:41
DBExpert Applications could be built using DBase 4 tables I think, or DB2 or Oracle ( when it was alive on os2 ).
If your application is built with Dbase Tables, you could probably read them with a Windows ( I know, I know )
tool like Borland Delphi and convert them to something else like Postgres. I have DBExpert, Borland C++ and
Postgres on OS2. I may be able to help. This would be a non-trivial task. If the application is really important
to you and you want to stick with OS2, it might be worth moving the data to Postgres or Mysql on OS2 and
converting the application to an Apache/Tomcat 5.5 webapp. I will see if I can convert their sample tables, CUSTOMER.DBF, ITEMS.DBF and ORDERS.DBF to Postgres or MySQL.

What does your application do?
