Re: New-Era, how good is it?

But then again they were giving it away for almost nothing. I don't think Informix can afford to do that. Don't get me wrong Informix needs to do something. Now what that something is, is a different story. I have looked at a lot of tools: Powerbuilder, SQL for Windows, Delphi, Jam6, Uniface, and of course NewEra. NewEra would be my choice to use if I could get it to work under OS/2. I was really impressed with the 4gl++. NewEra had a lot of power that you don't have in other tools. I want your opinion on something. I think you should pick the tool depending on what data base you are using. If you are using Informix you should use NewEra. If you are going to use Sybase, the you should go with Powerbuilder. If you are going with a PC based data base, I would go with Delphi. Do you think you should use the tool that goes along with the Data Base? Matt
