Features: Database application is one of the most important fields of computer application. Microcomputer database management systems have evolved from dBASE to Visual FoxPro 6.0. Programming methodologies have transitioned from procedural, structured programming to object-oriented, event-driven programming. Currently, Visual FoxPro 6.0 is widely adopted in the development of database application software. Database application teaching in higher education has also entered the era of object-oriented, event-driven application development. However, there are few high-level, brand-new systematic database application textbooks that meet teaching needs. This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 is the Visual FoxPro 6.0 Basics section, which introduces fundamental concepts of relational databases, constants, variables, expressions, functions, common commands, event program structures, classes and objects, defining user classes, and creating large-scale specialized management programs using visual programming methods. Part 2 is the Visual FoxPro General Programming Methods section, which covers principles of general management program design, common statements and functions, the foundation of general management program design, and creating large-scale general management programs using visual programming methods.
