Trying to decide on a development tool for a new app. Has to run 24x7 for about 100 users and be reasonably quick as part of the task involves responding to telephone calls from travellers overseas. Database will be Oracle, but I'm torn between VB5/6 with Oracle Objects for OLE (my usual method) or Oracle Developer 6 (I have limited experience of this).

Can anyone comment on the robustness, scaleability and speed of development of the 2 platforms? I know with VB I can write something fast which will be OK for 100 users but reliability isn't always A1. With Dev6 my _perception_ is that development isn't as fast, the GUI isn't as pretty but there are blue chip companies using it so perhaps it has the edge in reliability.
TIA for any comments (especially anyone expert in both) and Season's Greetings.
Bill.
