First job out of college had me working with a government built database using foxbase (not fox pro). It was a bit of an eye opener compared to the database course in college. Since we really didn't have much of a budget, any reporting I wanted to do had to use my Turbo C compiler and Postscript. It was educational.
- jhbadger 11y agoI worked my way through undergrad (when that was still possible in the US in the late 1980s-early 1990s) working at the university library part time maintaining their databases and query systems -- which were initially in dBase III and later migrated to Foxbase, and around when I left, to the DOS-based early versions of FoxPro. I haven't thought about dBASE, Foxbase, or any sort of XBASE for over twenty years. Quite nostalgic.
