As I type this I have in front of me an Ad for Oracle Developer/2000 that indicates an ability to drag and drop functions between client and [a] server. [DBMS July 1995] I hope Informix are paying some attention to developer productivity in the provision of this functionality. [Unlike NewEra]. I am getting a little tired of explaining to people why they're not allowed to develop in Gupta, Powerbuilder or Access. Peter Tashkoff Auckland, NZ
