My companies ERP database is an ancient VisualFox Pro database and it doesn't play well with JDBC. I have seen some posts on here from Cas about some third party drivers. I downloaded the trials and they worked for about 30 seconds. The errors said I had reached my polling limit so I couldn't even test them out in my project. There seem to be 3, one of them you cant even buy anymore.

> Hi All, Life has a way of repeating itself… 8 years ago I started a thread about a DBF driver that helped me and a few others connect to a FoxPro database. [http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/connecting-to-visual-foxpro-database-dbc-file/2531](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/connecting-to-visual-foxpro-database-dbc-file/2531) Now, 2200 miles away, 8 years older (but only a couple years wiser), I am doing a project where I need to connect to a 20-year old extruder running a dBase database on board. Guess what I needed again? A JDBC driver for DBF. Turns out the old one I us…

Does anyone have a resource for an open source driver or any other ideas? I'd hate to buy a production license just to find out it doesn't work that well.
