Features: With the advancement of science and technology, today's society has entered the information age. In the field of information engineering, database technology is one of the most important achievements and tools. The core of systems such as Management Information Systems (MIS), Office Automation (OA), and Decision Support Systems (DSS) cannot be separated from the support of database technology. Visual FoxPro is a database management system software with powerful database management functions, widely used in the development of small-scale database systems. This book is written to adapt to the reform of computer basic education courses in higher education institutions. With Visual FoxPro 6.0 as the background, it primarily introduces fundamental database concepts, basic VFP operations, structured programming, object-oriented programming, data table queries and indexing, VFP forms, reports, examples, and an introduction to network databases. Starting from the basics, the book explains procedural and object-oriented programming methods and the use of auxiliary design tools, briefly covers Internet database development, and has a broad scope with close ties to practical applications. The content of this book is selected from years of teaching experience in computer application foundation courses for non-computer science graduate students, aiming to help students master database programming techniques in a short period of time. This book can serve as a textbook for computer application foundation courses for undergraduate and graduate students in non-computer science disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for professionals at different levels working in OA, MIS, and DSS.
