The one product that is not mentioned in this discussion is Oracle Designer/2000 which to my opinion is key to Oracle based applications development. It is capable of Universal Design, which in fact means that it is able to generate both Developer/2000 as well as VB4 applications from the same design, as well as the entire database scheme, with tight integration between the application and the database, something that would e.g. take a VB professional a long time to build. But not only does it generate D2000 and VB4, it also generates C++ layers to the database and HTML-based Web applications. Soon it will be able to generate Power Objects based applications. This makes Designer/2000 a unique product in the industry that should be considered in every serious development effort.
