Dear DMZ17 and other readers,

my concerns with Jdeveloper and Oracle are following:

1. i am trying to evaluate whether using jdeveloper as a development tool will make our j2ee applications communicate with disparate databases such as sql server and db2. the answer is may be or we are out of luck with jdeveloper.
2. if jdeveloper is going to make a big fuss about communicating to a simple database such as Northwind in MS SQL Server, I am not too sure whether I should use Jdeveloper for the proposed java based enterprise wide web application.
3. my other guess (I do not know) is that jdeveloper is going to lock me into using Oracle 9i AS although the oracle reps might say that it should not matter what middle tier one is using - Oracle jdeveloper's code (if it is J2EE) will work fine.
4. the fact that oracle's tool in the past have not done a good job in communicating with other databases such as sql server or db2 - that is why the industry is using vb, asp, jsp, java, jbuilder, and the like and not Oracle forms, reports, and other oracle tools to work with db2 and sql server.

QUESTION: do you think JBuilder will not have these sorts of hassles.

just thinking loudly. any help is appreciated.
