Every tool has serious disadvantages - because no tool is all things for all people. It's not about the language though. IS is about the data. We need to make sure we have the right data accessible to the right people - but not accessible to the wrong people. Often this is facilitated by having a big box database with lots of rules in it. But what languages we use really doesn't matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
