Hi,
I have fedora core 1 (binary-only)
an alternative for VB/Oracle combination on
Windows to perform a DBMS lab project in Linux
VB is _easy_ to program with, since it is a
scripting language. So don't fiddle up with C/C++ or
Java. Go for Python[1], a clean and readable
scripting language. Thus use Python as a substitute
for VB (But in real sense, Python is the much much
better language than VB, though there are no polished
ads as for VB). To know why one should learn Python,
surf to

Python can be used as a frontend for all stuffs.
For database, MySQL is my choice. Python comes will
almost every distribution. So you have to download
MySQL-python[2].
Python, by default comes with the Tk toolkit for
creating GUI. By I don't recommend Tk. (Tk is best
used with Tcl and that's all abt it). I recommend you
using PyGTK[3], GTK bindings for Python.
After a few months, "Visual Python" will be a gift
for Python programmers. I'm working on VP as a sole
substitute for VB. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
