RE: Query/400 Replacement

Lukas,

I don't know about the German requirement, but for all the rest SEQUEL
fits the bill.

Subject: Query/400 Replacement

Hi List,

 

My company is looking for an alternative to Query/400. We're at the
early start of our evalution phase, and are looking for vendors and
products which could be interesting to us.

 

We're a System i ISV, which sells our ERP software to SMB. We 
intend to
resell this new software to our customers.

 

Our current situation is, that while Query/400 is suitable for most
tasks, young people don't like to learn it (especially since 
the rest of
our application system is entirely windows based), and Query/400 has
some deficiencies, which are currently workarounded by 
manually created
SQL queries.

 

What we're looking for is a more modern alternative, which 
allows people
without intrinsic IT knowledge to build queries against the 
database. We
do not have any specific requirements, other than that it must not be
5250 based.

 

*         Windows / Java / Browser Based 

*         Modern look & feel

*         Must run on 520 with 2GB RAM, 36GB Disk, 600CPW (this rules
out everything that has to do with WAS)

*         Shouldn't cost more than 10'000US$ for 5 concurrent users

*         Easy to learn, flexible

*         Available in German (not a must, but a very strong plus)

 

I would like to hear experiences with the product you have, 
but I'm also
interested in Vendor responses (Off-List)

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

Lukas Beeler
