We have been using JAM as the fornt end to our Oracle databases for about 3 years now. We have been very pleased. The product has been extended so that is supports a character or GUI (MOTIF, Windows) user interface with the same resource file.
You can access the database using C functions (embedded SQL or the Oracle API[OCI]) or they have SQL extensions to their script language which allow making database calls directly.
We evaluated and purchased JAM initially because we did not like (ie: hated) SQL*Forms. I haven't seen anything in Forms 3 that would influence me to change our decision.
