Re: Aubit 4GL for postgresql

Hi,

Mike Aubury is considering porting Aubit 4GL
http://www.aubit.com/index.php?page=Products/Aubit4gl to native
postgresql.

If this is of interest to you please respond. He is trying to measure
the level of interest.

Uh, I thought it already worked with PostgreSQL. Certainly there is a
lot of demand from companies porting from Informix and for users who
need a good database-aware application language.

Just to clarify - Aubit4GL currently works with InformixSQL style SQL
statements being converted to PostgresSQL on the fly for migrating current
Informix4GL programs to run against a PostgresSQL database.

What I'm talking about here is running native PostgresSQL statements within
the 4GL for people who've maybe never heard of Informix 4GL/SQL.

(For example - Aubit4GL has no CREATE TYPE statement, outer joins are
different etc - a PostgresSQL programmer may not like the fact they need to
PREPARE or SQL/ENDSQL around these statements that the current 4GL grammar
rules don't recognise...).

This would be a panacea, for us. We are moving a big installation
from Informix to Postgres, and 90% of our apps are Informix-4gl...

I read in one of the postings that actually i can use
postgresql with aubit encosing nonInformix sintaxis in
SQL - END SQL block. it that true? where can i foun

Aubit4GL will already take an Informix4GL program, and run it on postgres
(mostly!). We have a translation module which takes care of a large portion
of the differences, and theres also an Informix compatibility patch for
postgres which takes care of some of the backend stuff too...

And yes - you can either PREPARE or SQL-END SQL around any non-informix SQL
statements..
