No specific experience using Oracle D/D2000 over Progress, just with D/D2000 itself. We looked at doing a project and quickly abonded it due to the weakness of the tools. Since you have Progress, and want a different tool, I could understand wanting Delphi, or maybe PB, and VB on the outside. But Oracle tools I can't phathom.

D/D2000 is particularly week in the database connectivity arena. You had better get used to ODBC because it's the only resort you've got in this case.

If you do work with it, please let me know. D/D2000 is not listed in my Progress ODBC FAQ because no one has ever reported using it with Progress ODBC. Received on Thu Sep 11 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
