Sandy, I've found PHP pretty easy to learn and work with and it gets the job done pretty quickly. Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandra Becker Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 10:20 AM To: oracle-l Subject: Turbo Enterprise Platform: IBM zSeries Oracle: 10gR2 EE OS: SUSE 10 I was wondering if anyone had used / tested Turbo Enterprise to write applications. We have a need to write numerous applications for our internal users but are sadly lacking in development resources. They have their hands full breaking the application for our customers. I saw the product demoed at RMOUG this year and have been unsuccessfuly in getting my SA to set up the environment I need (OS packages missing) so I can do a test drive. I would like more ammunition, if possible, to go to our boss to get this done. I like what I've seen so far and think that the product is easy enough to use that even I could write the simplistic applications we need. I have a few I'd like to write for myself as well. Perhaps there is another product with comparable capabilities and price? -- Sandy Transzap, Inc.
