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
