We have been using PowerBuilder for several years with Informix as our DBMS with no problems whatsoever. It has no problem accessing any DBMS and has a very good OO implementation! I also use PowerBuilder and am very happy with it. We've just jumped into using PowerBuilder's ole capabilities to connect an Informix-based data warehousing application to Informix's MetaCube, and it's a slick operation. PowerBuilder may be a little bit pricey, but it delivers an intuitive, industrial strength application.
