No, it's not neccessary.
>2) We all know that Borland Delphi gives us stand alone .EXE applications
when development is finished, and we all know the sheer advantages of
that. Yesterday, at the end of the presentation they showed us the
sizes of the executable binaries. They were around the range of 40-50 K,
which is by itself wonderful, but not "stand-alone", because the whole
suite uses unified libraries among their separate products. Does Oracle
plan to take the road of Delphi, simple because of the advantages of
stand alone apps.
Oracle "Power Objects" will provide this style of application development. It's a completely seperate product from Developer/2000.
>3) Also yesterday, we have seen that Developer/2000 can easily connect to
DBs from other vendors, e.g., Sybase, Informix, etc., etc., thru MS-ODBC
interface for Windows. I raised a question on Progress connectivity.
The answer was "YES", of course, with Progress ODBC drivers. What I am
wondering is (maybe I should ask this on Progress forum!!), are there
ODBC drivers for Progress v6 (I heard, there already are for v7).
I have no idea.
