We are interested in purchasing the Sybase server and C language bindings (Open Client) for use in several programming projects. We would like the system to also be available to non-programmer types but were not satsified by Sybase's front ends (awb, dwb). Does anyone know of any third-party packages that work with Sybase, but are friendlier and/or more flexible (e.g. use termcap or a site modifiable terminal database), and whether they allow the user to take advantage of the Sybase server's strong points (triggers, stored proceedures, etc...). g.

We have a toolset that consists of a visual, WYSIWYG application screen generator combined with a powerful, event-driven 4GL, which is called Accell/SQL. Accell/SQL runs on Unify's OLTP RDBMS, Unify 2000, as well as Oracle V5.x & V6.x; Informix/SQL, Sybase and SCO Integra. In addition, remote database access is available to Accell/SQL applications via Unify's Accell/NET product, via SQL*NET for Oracle and Sybase's client/server architecture.

Their product fact sheet states: "SQL Solutions currently offers a compendium of eight SQL productivity tools for each of the four major application lifecycle phases: design and analysis, development and implementation, debugging and performance tuning, and operational control." It looks like most of the tools were designed for use with Sybase, but support for other RDMSs is in progress. The toolset includes SA Companion, which is "the first fully-integrated operational control environment to aid SYBASE system adminstrators in managing complex SQL Server networks". Also avalable is SQL Advantage, a multi-RDMS programmer productivity environment for writing and debugging SQL code. SQL Solutions, Inc. was established in 1986, and in 1990, it merged with Sybase. Their address is phone 8 New England (800)933-0044 Executive Park (617)270-4150 Burlington, MA 01803 I've never seen the product, so obviously this is not an endorsement.
