HOWTO Migrate from FoxPro to DB2?

Hi,
I'm working on a project which needs 10 GB of foxpro database needed to
be migrated to DB2. Please suggest me some database migration strategy
or is there any tool which can import data from foxpro onto DB2?

Could anyone let me know which is the right place/site to
start my research?
Thanks in advance.

I would start in the DB2 Express C support newsgroup.
Anyone migrating from Foxpro or Access up would most likely end up in
Express C.

The DB2 MTK from IBM does not support FoxPro. I know that much.

Cheers
Serge

FoxPro is pretty much dBase. Maybe searching with that term would yield
some results...

Try WinSQL (http://synametrics.com/winsql). It can move data from one
database to another and can also help in converting the table schemas.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
