Re: WDSCi v7 Data perspective vs. QuantumDB


I'm not sure how much time I will spend on it though as it appears to be among the components that "disappeared" with RDi. I assume it is in the expensive version - but most of my clients won't go there so I suspect Quantum will be the answer.
I've asked IBM several times about putting the Data Perspective into RDi, but haven't gotten a lot of traction. It is significantly better than Quantum DB; Quantum has some serious lacks ranging from annoying (the clumsy nature of the save and restore) to unforgiveable (no Undo in the editor).

And of course, it's available in RDi-SOA, the "expensive" version. Although adding an entire web application development environment that allows you to develop both thin and rich client applications for less than three times the cost of the RPG-only tool just doesn't sound so expensive to me. And I'm one of those people who DON'T think that you can spend your way out of a recession... <smile>
