You'll find that Developer is very productive for the UI and for the database access, but I would expect that PL/SQL (the programming language for Developer) is going to be too slow if your definition of "heavy math" is the same as mine. A good approach might well be to do the math in a DLL written in C and integrate it with Developer using the ORA_FFI interface.

Given my position, I think it would be inappropriate for me to comment on Delphi. Received on Sat Jun 27 1998 - 04:02:37 CEST
