[Quoted] Developer 2000 is admittedly an out-of-date marketing term, but it is still in colloquial use by lots of folks to refer collectively to the Forms/Reports/Graphics/Procedure Builder/miscellaneous doodads family of Oracle tools.

Saravanan, please try to be more specific about the exact tools and versions that you are using.

I wouldn't be too hasty to judge that earlier versions don't work with non-Oracle databases, I know Forms 4.5 had certain capabilities in this regard and the necessary techniques and properties were documented in the manuals - for instance, the block properties could be set to allow the block to interface with a non-Oracle SQL database. It was extra work and needed various triggers to be coded, but was (apparently) do-able. Not something I ever tried though.
