[comp.databases] The Search for a 4GL - - Help ???

doug@telly.UUCP (Doug Young) (04/02/89)

We would be interested in reading comments in this group on 
4GL Application Generators.  We are considering ACCELL from
UNIFY, which now will generate applications based on the
UNIFY 2000, ORACLE, SYBASE, and SCO INTEGRA   rdbm systems.

We have some experience with EMPRESS, FoxBASE + and dbVISTA.
We  REALLY  like dbVISTA but the development cycle is far too
long.  The same goes for earlier versions of EMPRESS though we
will be looking at their 4GL.

One of the applications we have under development involves the
use of BAR CODE READERS (wand type, hardware not yet selected) and
CD-ROM (likely HIGH-SIERRA format).  Any comments on using any
4GL to access these would be appreciated.
