Re: front-end vs back-end

We are working on an OLTP type application for the health market in Britain and have chosen to use PL/SQL to do all of the database work.

This enables us to do 2 main things :-

1. Seperate the development of the back-end from the front-end, thus giving a good deal of parallel development.
2. It gives us a good solid basis on which to create a well defined publishable interface to the database from 3rd party tools.

It also gives us a certain amount of flexibility if we decide that the front-end toolkit (Access) is not good enough

PS. All reading of data is performed through views.
