Hi ...
We are thinking of converting from a traditional IBM mainframe environment to a unix based environment. We are looking at ORACLE and it's suite of products to replace our database and COBOL code. Having looked at SQL*FORMS, I am concerned that a large complex application would be very hard to maintain. The reasoning (very open to critisism) being that since alot of code is generated and other code is in triggers and procedures, the programmer never gets to see the program as a whole entity. It would seem to me that after a program is written it would be very hard for any programmer who hadn't written it to easily maintain it. Is this true ??? If not why not ??? Please email me with any comments. Thanks alot in advance.
