Oracle Forms is... probably not something anyone wants to use anymore.
Well - seems there are still some systems out there - especially since forms was integrated into an applet... but as I see it, the architecture is plain evil. I have just been working on a new form, which took me 7 hours to create (approx 1/2 in visual studio would have accomplised the same). Of course some of it is because I'm not that confident with Oracle Forms yet, but still - it is quite difficult creating a good UI in a short amount of time.

Forms is a relict of the Client-Server era.
Yep, and it will not be up to date, since not much have happened the last couple of years (if we look besides the fact it have been moved to an applet)

This is ADA-style. IMO it's a lot better than T-SQL .
Well, it's kind of like discussing syntax as I see it, cause some love VB and others love C# syntax. The spec/body thingie frustrates me the most, since I have to make changes in both places.
