Hello,

I must set-up an application with an Oracle Database running on Unix and a GUI running on Windows 2000/XP machines. The size of the DB is about 5GB.
The application will have about 1000 users and about 200 concurrent users connected via a WAN.

My management propose the combination Oracle - ODBC - Visual Basic.

Does this will be stable and reliable enough ? Must I propose an another architectur ? (PowerBuilder ?, Java ?, ...) Does web based application can be cheaper (to build and maintain) than VB ?

Thanks for your feedbacks. Received on Tue Oct 14 2003 - 19:55:34 CEST
