[comp.databases] Oracle FORMS 2.3 --> FORMS 3.0

hysell@kodak.kodak.com (John Hysell) (05/31/91)

I have a customer who is looking for a better, more complete set of tools
to help him convert existing FORMS version 2.3 applications into version 3.0
FORMS.  Oracle's tools do not re-build triggers, for example, and he hopes
to find a 3rd party answer to his problem.
   Does anyone in this newsgroup know of a 3rd party commercial solution?
thanks in advance;

I have heard that there is a company that will convert V2 triggers to
V3 with PL/SQL.  Unfortunately, I do not remember the name.

I have been converting all of our 2.3 forms to 3.0.  Needless to say this
has been a very cumbersome process.  However, I have written a script (Unix
Shell) that makes this process much easier.

If you would like a copy of this script reply via e-mail.

Good Luck !!
