Araghghghgh!!!!!!!!!!! Gaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!! I've just looked. It uses Visual-Basic Basic as a language!! What's happening?!?!?! What's the strategy here? What happens to pl/sql CDE? Is this Power Objects thing the way forward? There's no mention of Motif, I noticed.

First we find out that CASE is written in visual C++ which ties Oracle to Microsoft, and now we find out that they have to keep up with the visual basic syntax etc. which ties them even more.

 All "Oracle" programmers are being made redundant, and all the visual basic programmers are going to take over their jobs! This is what's going to happen!

Thanks a lot Oracle.

Henry.
