Re: looks like some web developers are getting back into 4GL environment...

I shudder for the future -

"It's really only practical in cases where you have complete control
over the database schema..."

Sorry, I've seen too many cases where Java developers decided to be
their own DBA/Data Architect.

It may be perfect for stand-alone, stovepipe, localized reporting
where they want it "pretty...pretty" on the web.  But they won't leave
well enough alone.  Shortly (not sooner or later but, rather, sooner),
someone will want to do an enterprise-wide app using this.  Hopefully
the resulting mess will kill this idea dead.
