4gl compiler
Kate asked which 4GL compiler people recommend and whether OAT or Data Studio include a free one. Respondents clarified that OAT and Data Studio have nothing to do with 4GL. The consensus free option suggested was Aubit4GL (open source, said to compile existing 4GL code with useful extensions), though one poster said he never managed to get it built. Commercial alternatives mentioned were Querix (praised for graphics), FourJs (used successfully for ten years, with web client and web services), and the original Informix 4GL compiler.

What do the gurus out there recommend for a 4gl compiler? Doesn't either OATs or Data Studio come with a free one? Thanks!

Hi Kate, I am very impressed with Aubit4gl.

Oat and Data Studio do not come with a 4GL compiler, no. For a free 4GL compiler, you can use Aubit4GL. It will compile any 4GL code out there and has some nice extensions. For commercial ones, I'm fond of Querix for its graphical capabilities, though the original Informix compiler is fine. Art Art S.

There is Aubit 4GL. <http://aubit4gl.sourceforge.net/tiki/tiki-custom_home.php>; They've been around a long time but I've never used them.

Their web client front-end is the Next Big Thing for us, and we've already exploited the web services and generel netty-ness of the product to good results. Of course, FourJs is a pay-for. I've tried to dabble with Aubit in the past but never gotten past the initial build of the tools. Perhaps that's improved now, or maybe the people giving it a tick are more persistent than I am... It's kinda moot though since we're full steam ahead with FourJs.
