Look at PROGRESS! Now granted this may be over kill, to attach a complete RDBMS on as a Front End Processor, but you will be *PLEASED* with what you see! The PROGRESS 4GL will become your development language. PROGRESS will handle all your front end processing, while you can leave Oracle as the DBMS Server (Back End) For more information on this and a "Test Drive" in PROGRESS call them at 1.Fast.4.GL Last month UN*X in the Office place had a good write up of PROGRESS. Or you could email me with more specific questions. Hope this helps, Ethan -- "When the program is being tested, it is to late to make design changes." - Tao of Programming by Geoffrey James Ethan A.
