The reasons for my move to Windev are that Visual Foxpro is no longer supported by Microsoft and more importantly that there is a maximum file size limit in VFP of 2GB.&#13;
Some of our customers are nearing that limit on some of their files and they still require to hold more data.&#13;
&#13;
I am writing an import routine to move our old VFP data into WD files and I have encountered a problem with the speed of the transfer degrading as the size of the VFP data increases.&#13;
&#13;
In my analysis I have a WD file and a VFP file and I am using a simple piece of code that reads a record from the VFP table and writes the record into the WD table. &#13;
I am using a HFSql client server database and Windev 19.&#13;
&#13;
The connection to the VFP file is setup in the analysis using an oleodbc connection.&#13;
&#13;
The code looks like this:&#13;
&#13;
sFieldList is string = hlistitem(nomtran)&#13;
&#13;
hread(VFP_nomtran)&#13;
&#13;
while not hout()&#13;
	&#13;
	for each sField in sFieldlist separated by CR&#13;
	&#13;
		{"NOMTRAN." + sField} = {"vfp_nomtran."+sField}&#13;
		&#13;
	end  &#13;
&#13;
	hadd(nomtran)&#13;
&#13;
	hreadnext(vfp_nomtran)&#13;
&#13;
end&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
My problem is that if the initial VFP file starts with 1 million records the transfer runs quickly at 90,000 per minute but if the initial VFP file contains 8 million records the transfer slows down and only runs at 10,000 per minute.&#13;
&#13;
Can you explain why this is happening and suggest any ways of improving the speed on the larger files?</description><ttl>30</ttl><generator>WEBDEV</generator><language>en_US</language><link>https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/51897-vfp-windev-data-conversion/read.awp</link><title>VFP to Windev data conversion</title><managingEditor>moderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)</managingEditor><webMaster>webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)</webMaster><item><author>Tim</author><category>pcsoft.us.windev</category><comments>https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/51897-vfp-windev-data-conversion-59478/read.awp</comments><pubDate>7 Sep 2016 17:07:53 Z</pubDate><description>Hi Ian,&#13;
&#13;
I don't know if the following is any faster but maybe it's worth a try:&#13;

&#13;
I'd like to know your opinión about windev. We also work in VFP and trying to decide to which lenguaje migrate.&#13;
