Ok, C++ is best language (=more flexible) if you like the hard way, for it, I Love VFP,Delphi,Etc.. RAD tools!

I clarify something: Delphi does not have native database... simply allows to connect itself to a database, in many more ways due to one of the architectures of classes more flexible than I know. At the moment it allows to connect itself using BDE, ADO, IBExpress, more what it comes in Linux (nonmemory the name), and you can choose these or others (by third-pary or what your you construct). Not requeire changes in the GUI... which I had liked when star to develop clases ADO on VFP...

Nevertheless, it was not my intention to debate that language is the best one.
I think that knowing several languages rich us like developer.

I like me to have the facility to create classes, the command window, etc... of fox in Delphi.. But Delphi is not VFP

I like me to have native access to the API, spectacular visual controls, not to have to limit to me databases development, also another toys (compresors, ActiveX Controls, etc...) with VFP, as I can in Delphi... But VFP is not Delphi!

So, i used Delphi AND Vfp, together, and i can get the best of everyone!

Whichever times like us to do this or that as such language does!
