The whole of the recent client/ server tools can do what you want. Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual basic, Oracle Power Objects or Developer/2000 can accomplish such tasks.

If I were you, I'd go for a BASIC based tool, either ORACLE Power Objects or Microsoft Visual Basic, but this is a rather personal view. Delphi is based on compiled Pascal, which offers you the most impressive performance. Pascal, however, is not widely used outside universities, as far as I know; Developer/2000, despite of its very powerful tools, is a rather proprietary environment, and I suspect ORACLE will gradually shift its mainstream development environment product line towards POWER OBJECTS (this product's new version, 2.0, offers entirely new capabilities, whereas Developer/2000 has received only minor adds over the past year).

All the same, you should be well off. There are plenty of choices nowadays.
