We’re all deluged with information these days–the problem is gathering it together and getting it organized so you can use it effectively. This section discusses the cornerstones of a Visual FoxPro data management system: tables, indexes, and databases.
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Here you’ll learn about your central interface for working with Visual FoxPro — the Project Manager — and learn about the design tools and wizards that make it easy to get quick results.
Chapter 2 Creating Tables and Indexes
Whether you import information from other applications, convert it from existing database files, or retrieve it from a remote server, you can use information more effectively when it’s in tabular form and indexed. Indexes help you put your data into a meaningful order, speed up searches for records, and join tables that contain related information.
Chapter 3 Collecting Tables into a Database
Your tables can work together most effectively if you combine them into a database. Databases give you more power to control and validate the information entered into your tables.
