In our company some database administrators are still querying MS SQL Server DB with Visual Foxpro.
Eventhough I'm not a DB administrator, I reckon it's time to migrate those queries to a more recent DB management system.
Question 1:
What are good substitutions/alternatives for Visual Foxpro?
Would Python be able to carry out all the task Visual Foxpro can?
Question 2:
The administators still defend the use of this language, eventhough support stopped in 2007. Is it still justifiable to keep using Visual Foxpro in 2018?
Thank you for your help!
I will say that, for our purposes VFP is the quickest way we have right now to convert data.  That said, we run it a lot in server 2012 and it's really buggy.  Requiring a lot of time clearing problems and restarting programs.  It's days are numbered for us, I would continue to use it if we could get it updated a bit so it works on better on modern operating systems.
