Re: a show of hands please, how many people use Oracle Forms for real apps?

Hi

[Quoted] Today Oracle Developer (Forms & Reports) are widely used, with very good results in terms of productivity and client satisfaction - at least this is my personal experience, and I work with Forms for 8 years.

But as the new Forms version - 9i - will lack the support of client/server deployment, I think its use will drop a lot, at least for them that need run their applications on that platform.
