Re: Java vs .NET was: RPGIII compiler vs Visual Basic

Hi Steve
If this is what you think where is the logic in even deploying SQL Server at all ? 
Why not just use the iSeries database for everything and be done with it ?
Also, by "one database" do you mean one central database or one "brand" ? Either way, one database on the iSeries would make your life a lot simpler, irrespective of your choice of programming language. 

regards
Evan Harris



You have a lot more practical experience than I do Joel.  I am just a
recent .NET school grad with a lot of big ideas!  I simply dont see
the point in an organization running more than one database.  They all
do the same thing, so settle on one and be done with it.

Of course working with the remote iSeries database is a another
matter.   Thinking about it, your approach could provide value as a
way to hide from the programmer the details that the tables could be
located any place in the network.
