I am preparing an evaluation of the database interface product, JAM/DBi, from JYACC, Inc. I'll be evaluating the product's interface with ORACLE running on VAX/VMS v5.3 on a VAX 3500. Has anyone used this product with ORACLE or other database's. I'd be interested in either successes or failures, since my evaluation will determine the product's suitability for a sizable data entry/data retrieval project. Thanks in advance. -- +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | David Rackley |"The described functionality performed | | Applied Research Laboratories | flawlessly, unfortunately we had absolutely | | P.O.

The conclusion, at least for this projecct, was that while the Jam Product with DBi beats the most of the competiton hand's down because of the user interface capablities and the capablities to tie fields to the database, we chose SQL*Forms V3.0 because most of the default actions relating to the database could be done directly. There are many great things about the Jam product. If we had choosen to go with Informix, we would be using Jam at this point. The Forms package supports a closer interconnect to the underlying database. Oh Yes, if the choice is with Oracle V5.X or Forms 2.X, I would be real tempted to use Jam/Dbi. Much more flexible.
