Not immediately. Informix is talking about an a.p. wizard, but have not said when it will be available. (Ver. 3.0?) I don't think this is the most important issue right now. What you drag and drop in Developer/2000 is SPL code so the only server side execution you can do is stored procedures in an Oracle database. NewEra at least generates machine code executed as normal OS programs (or P-Code to be interpreted if you want, but still under the OS). You don't need any database on the application server, and you can do a lot more under the OS than in stored procedures. Someone has called Developer/2000 2 1/2 tier, while NewEra is true 3 to multi tier. But be aware also: For many it may not matter too much, for others it may. Of course much more than drag and drop a.p. will be needed shortly in a competitive marketplace. Run time partition administration, performance tuning +++ comes to mind. With a lot of automation and GUI wizards. Nils.Myklebust@ccmail.telemax.no NM-data, Dalsbergstien 7, N-0170 Oslo, Norway My opinions are those of my company
