Re: VB/ORACLE Connection

Does anyone have any impression one way or the other regarding jDeveloper?

I'm at the threshold of getting into Oracle application development, after years of working in Fortran, C, Pl/1, and (most recently) Visual FoxPro.

My impression (please correct if wrong!) is that Developer 2000 is a bit dated.

I was hoping to find a a product comparison between jDeveloper and Developer 2000 (and/or other devleopment tools) at the Oracle website, but can't seem to find such.

Would it make sense for an organization starting fresh to go with jDeveloper, seeing as how 1) it's Java-based, 2) it apparently builds on Delphi, which seems to have a good reputation in the Oracle community, and 3) it's an Oracle product, and appears to have a number of Oracle-specific features?
