Re: Newbie Question?

There are several alternatives you might consider. Which is easiest/cheapest depends on what you have lying around and what you have experience with.

The following is a partial list of products can be used to generate data entry forms for Oracle:

Oracle Corporation Tools

    Developer -- download or buy from Oracle -- the price is right and the tools are designed to work with Oracle

    J-Developer -- download or buy from Oracle -- the price is right and the tools are designed to work with Oracle (J stands for Java)

Other Commercial Products

    Visual Basic -- The old Microsoft standby use ODBC, RDO, or ADO to connect to Oracle

    Access -- It makes a decent front end tool to talk to Oracle. Use ODBC, RDO, or ADO to connect to Oracle

    Delphi -- Borland's development tools are outstanding and Pascal is a good development language

    J-builder -- Borland's Java is great for those that prefer OO programming and aren't into C++

    C-Builder -- Borlands C compiler is preferred by many developers

    Visual C++ -- Microsofts C compiler is another candidate     Powerbuilder -- From Sybase. A lot of serious developers swear by it.

Freeware

    Perl/CGI/DBI -- Very capable -- see www.perl.com     Tcl/TK -- Easy to learn -- see www.tcltk.com     Python/Tk -- Easy to learn and reputed to be more powerful than Tcl/Tk. -- see www.python.org

Any of the above will work
