Unify Corporation offers Accell/SQL for Oracle. This is a full featured 4GL that offers complete access to the underlying db so that you don't have to give up the features that you bought your database for. It will switch between Openlook, Motif, Windows, and character mode with no 4GL changes other than changing an environment variable. It has lots more features besides that, of course. :-)

Call 1-800-24-UNIFY for more details. Of course, since I work for Unify, I'm biased.
