title: Visual FoxPro in 2018
body: <p>In our company some database administrators are still querying MS SQL Server DB with Visual Foxpro.</p>
  
  <p>Eventhough I'm not a DB administrator, I reckon it's time to migrate those queries to a more recent DB management system.</p>
  
  <p>Question 1:
  What are good substitutions/alternatives for Visual Foxpro?
  Would Python be able to carry out all the task Visual Foxpro can?</p>
  
  <p>Question 2:
  The administators still defend the use of this language, eventhough support stopped in 2007. Is it still justifiable to keep using Visual Foxpro in 2018?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help!</p>
