>I don't think it is a matter of "vs". These products work well with each other. The Oracle forms tool (Developer 2000) doesn't measure up to VFP. You can do some simple things quite easy, but it isn't a mature product.
Exuse me for breaking into your conversation. For last one year I participated in VFP/Oracle client server project, so I have to lear Oracle at the same level
as VFP. I could say Oracle like data base server is great but difficalt. But Developer 2000 with Oracle forms, reports and so on is horable from my poit of view. I guess, it is good choice to have Oracle like database server, but for interfase to use PowerBuilder, Delphi, Visual Foxpro, not developer 2000.
Combination VFP/Oracle is more difficalt, than combination of VFP/MS SQL7
