Re: Oracle equiv to 4GL?

Hi, Ken. The Oracle 4gl equivalent is PL/SQL; if you need (for performance purposes) the esqlc analog for Oracle, try PRO-C (there are the other languages versions, such as PRO-Cobol, etc.). And you can call directly the engine using OCI. If you are looking for the simple development tool, PL/SQL works quite fine (yes, of course, it is *not* really fast); if you need the speed, PRO-C is for you. Oracle sales this product as a part of Developer 2000. Cheers. Kostyantyn. -- ________________________________ The best solutions in programming, phisics, electronics and automatic control.
