i have developed db systems with java, vb6, php, vb.net, visual foxpro, powerbuilder and delphi. sad to say i can't say there is 1 best programming language...

web based = php + MySql/PostgreSql
desktop = Any Visual Studio .NET language + MS Sql Server or MySql/PostgreSql
manual = bolpen + papel. hehe korny

I prefer web based... you can access it online/everywhere if you deploy it online.

java + PL/SQL + oracle

In the business appllication development industry there are but few RAD tools that excelled and still undisputed no. 1. One of them is Sybase PowerBuilder which have more than 1 million licenses sold since 1991.

I have been in the I.T. industry since 1984 and have seen programming languages come and go. I had been part a P40M+ software project and we used PowerBuilder. Business programming is PowerBuilder's forte. In fact Microsoft was one of the very 1st customers of Powersoft the original developer of PowerBuilder. PowerBuilder is up to date in it's framework. It is compliant to Microsoft standard like .Net and WPF. I have seen first hand some futile attemp in migrating PowerBuilder app to VB.Net. The only reason they're doing so is that PowerBuilder is no longer in fashion. With some plugin and/or 3rd party software, PowerBuilder application can be deployed to the web with just a click of a button. PowerBuilder is a mature product than anything else in the market today. But then again companies are clamoring for something else disregarding high productivity and cost saving.

I have nothing against PB, I just want to clear something...

In fact Microsoft was one of the very 1st customers of Powersoft the original developer of PowerBuilder.

June 3, 1991, a month before the release of PB.

Powersoft joins Microsoft's group of SQL Business Partners and will now offer the Microsoft SQL Server database management system with PowerBuilder, its new graphic client/server application development environment...

it's a marketing agreement between Powersoft & Microsoft, without the help of Microsoft which obviously owns the DBServer, Operating System, and more...PB would not be that successful.

PowerBuilder is up to date in it's framework.

PowerBuilder is not a framework. If there is, it isn't part of PowerBuilder. Even the new PB12 which runs on isolated shell version of Visual Studio, doesn't have Framework. Instead they adopted the .NET Framework & WPF (FYI: PB12 is still on BETA and its almost a year now)


try to visit Sybase survey, for 2008 (done last year) SURVEY for 2009 survey will be made this year.

vb6, vb.net and asp.net the best

Para nako mas nindot ang .NET tungod sa ADO.NET(DataSets and DataTables anyone?) para RAD. Ok pud ang Java pero kuti2 gamay.. Pag katon pud ug Stored Procedures(T-SQL or whatever).

Pa OT:
Daghan lagi nahan ug vb diri sa.. Di kaayo ko nahan ug sa VB language(though I'm very proficient with it). Nahan ko naay mga braces.. hehe.. Well.. Different stokes for different folks..

Happy Dok2.ing!!
