So, I guess those disks are more expensive than your worktime dealing with this POS?

Theoretically it can be used on Oracle databases too, but I would advise against that.

Toad is Java? It never ceases to amaze me that people try and make production-quality software in an interpreted language.
Yeah, which is why nobody uses C# or VB.Net.
I'm not sure what your point is but C# and VB.Net are not interpreted languages. At compile-time it is compiled into IL and at first execution it uses a Just-In-Time compiler.Whoosh.

I'm not going to disagree.

- Bridget is against using an interpreted language like Java for production quality software
- Sutherland sarcastically (?) points out that plenty of people use C# or VB
Why do I get the woosh here? As I pointed out statement 2 has no relation whatsoever to statement 1 because C# is NOT an interpreted language. So why does he even bring it up?
It's like someone saying that Boomzilla should stop flaming BlakeyRat all the time and then responding: but [b]nobody[/b] likes cake on TDWTF. Followed by me pointing out that BlakeyRat is NOT a cake
Edit:
Wait a minute...maybe a fruit cake?

One can disagree.
because C# is NOT an interpreted language.
Because Java isn't one either.

I never claimed it was. I don't do Javabecause C# is NOT an interpreted language.

Sure. bridget99 (indirectly) calls Java an interpreted language and implies it is therefore unfit for production quality software. Sutherland (indirectly) points out that C# and VB are as interpreted as Java, so by that reasoning would also be unfit for production quality software.
@Ilya Ehrenburg said:
You didn't, but bridget99 did.
I never claimed it was.because C# is NOT an interpreted language.
Because Java isn't one either.I don't do Java
Which could explain why you didn't understand the relation of Sutherland's reply to bridget99's remark.

I believe this statement can be generalized for a great many things.

The funny thing is Bridget is kind of right, but has the wrong reasoning. Java isn't bad because it's interpreted (and as others here have stated, it's not really interpreted anyway), it's bad because Java has no good, or even passable, native GUI libraries. Meanwhile, .net has several.

Sure it does! For example, it can output HTML. This can be read by a native browser. See? No problem!

Isn't it sad that the only way to make it look like anything resembling a UI is through an external rpogram (i.e. a browser)...

Everything is on the server; no need to install anything on the client machine. Firefox looks about the same whether the client is on a Windows or OS X or Linux box. Recently we've been using browscap to adkist tp mobile phones. Can any other GUI run out-of-the-box on Windows, OS/X, Linux, Android, iOS, and Blackberry? The<var class="filename"></var> client machine can be next to the server or on the other side of the world. I haven't written GUI code for years; wouldn't want to. GUI is obsolete - HTML and JavaScript and AJAX are the way to go today.

But a UI is a much lower bar, and I'm pretty sure that java can interact with a native console / shell combination just fine.
