WANTED - Platform & db-independent 4GL tools

Path: emory!att!cbfsb!cbnewsg.cb.att.com!blhaf From: blhaf@cbnewsg.cb.att.com (brian.l.hafer) Newsgroups: comp.databases,comp.databases.informix,comp.databases.oracle Message-ID: <1992Feb13.194028.8231@cbfsb.att.com> Date: 13 Feb 92 19:40:28 GMT Sender: news@cbfsb.att.com Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories I am interested in any experience or knowledge anyone has about platform-independent, database-independent 4GL tools. Most of us deal with many databases and many platforms and I'm looking for recommendations for a tool(s) for writing in a 4GL and accessing any database on any platform. I realize it will be necessary to have some layered products to allow networking and access to other databases. The buzz words you hear describing this capability are interoperability and enterprise-wide data access. We would also be interested in any experiences with client/server setups, primarily (but not restricted to) using TCP/IP networking on UNIX systems.
