FoxPro

FoxPro was a text-based, procedurally oriented programming language and database management system that also supported object-oriented programming. It was first published by Fox Software and later by Microsoft, which acquired Fox Software in 1992, and it ran on MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh and Unix. FoxPro descended from FoxBase, which in turn descended from dBase III and dBase II. It handled multiple relationships between several dbf table files, though it lacked transactional processing, and FoxPro 2 introduced the Rushmore engine, which used indexes to speed up data retrieval and updating. The last published release was 2.6, and development continued under the Visual FoxPro name until that product was discontinued in 2007.
