Fundamentals of Database Technology and Database-Driven Web Applications
Published in Barney L. Capehart, Timothy Middelkoop, Paul J. Allen, David C. Green, Handbook of Web Based Energy Information and Control Systems, 2020
FoxWeb is another technology that enables developers to create dynamic web pages, especially if the pages involve underlying FoxPro databases. The overall architecture of FoxWeb-centered web applications is also similar to that depicted in Figure 15-7. The FoxWeb script engine is a specific SSS engine. Like the ASP script engine, the FoxWeb script engine can handle complicated database manipulations, especially for FoxPro databases. This makes FoxWeb very attractive to developers who need to convert legacy desktop applications powered by FoxPro databases to web-based, FoxPro-driven applications. Similar to an ASP web page, a FoxWeb web page is essentially a text file with extension of *.fwx that contains HTML code as well as FoxWeb scripts. Also, the latest FoxWeb scripting object is compatible with Microsoft’s Active Server Pages (ASP) objects. This makes it easier for developers who are already familiar with ASP to become familiar with FoxWeb.
Disney’s Enterprise Energy Management Systems
Published in Barney L. Capehart, Lynne C. Capehart, Paul Allen, David Green, Web Based Enterprise Energy and Building Automation Systems, 2020
To “warehouse” the large amount of data collected from meters and energy management systems, a relational database management system is needed. Microsoft Visual Foxpro was used as the database management system. Another program, called FoxWeb, was chosen to interface the Visual Foxpro programs and the web server software. More information about FoxWeb is available at http://www.foxweb.com.
State-of-the-art review on benefits of applying value engineering for multi-story buildings
Published in Intelligent Buildings International, 2022
Basha and Gab-Allah studied the use of value engineering principles to evaluate the selection of construction systems for major bridge projects in Egypt (Basha and Gab-Allah 1991). Then in 2000, Assaf et al. presented an easy, quick, and accurate way of implementing value-engineering studies by introducing an integrated computerized system for the value engineering technique and life-cycle cost as a checkout system. The value engineering computer program was designed using a database computer program, FoxPro Windows (Assaf, Jannadi, and Al-Tamimi 2000). Nevertheless, Kwok et al. presented a value engineering methodology for railway construction projects. The method involved identifying primary cost drivers, deriving explicit representations for them, taking a holistic view to come up with practical solutions, assessing feasibility by analyzing constraints, and developing an implementation plan. The examples given were railway related, but it should be clear that the methodology could be readily applied to other infrastructure projects (Kwok, Anderson, and Ng 2009).
Geospatial analysis of malaria mortality in the kintampo health and demographic surveillance area of central Ghana
Published in Annals of GIS, 2021

We recorded centroids of all sub-districts with handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) devices (Garmin etrex 10). These centroids were processed and archived in database file format using FoxPro version 6.0. Malaria mortality statistics for each sub-district were geocoded and visualized using unique sub-district codes embedded in the shapefile of the study area.
