Hi Darren.

Yes, Foxfire! does support MySQL.

Foxfire! supports any database that provides an ODBC driver and supports standard SQL calls. If you do find there are any SQL incompatibilities, you can choose which core database SQL format you want to use - that usually helps resolve any differences.

Regarding upgrading, Foxfire! 8.0 has an Import from process that will import any older setup (we have run it from a 3.0 install as well as a 6.0) and convert it into a Foxfire! 8.0 environment.

Keep in mind that if you are moving from a DBF environment to a mySQL environment or another database, your data items may need to be modified unless the data structures are identical.
