There's not much discussion going on 4gl these days, and New Era doesn't seem to raise any interest (even Billy doesn't brag about it that much). Other languages have no significant impact on this forum and are (appropriately) discussed elsewhere. ESQL/C is Jonathan's exclusive territory, while ODBC belongs to Nils. What else should we discuss about? Engines? Informix was so kind to prevent me from touching new products... We had to become a bit more tollerant, or else, all we would see here would be "this doesn't belong to here" rants.
