Thread: Aubit 4GL for postgresql
Hi, Mike Aubury is considering porting Aubit 4GL http://www.aubit.com/index.php?page=Products/Aubit4gl to native postgresql. If this is of interest to you please respond. He is trying to measure the level of interest. -- Dave Cramer http://www.postgresintl.com 519 939 0336 ICQ#14675561

Certainly there is a lot of demand from companies porting from Informix and for users who need a good database-aware application language. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
This would be a panacea, for us. We are moving a big installation from Informix to Postgres, and 90% of our apps are Informix-4gl...

Just to clarify - Aubit4GL currently works with InformixSQL style SQL statements being converted to PostgresSQL on the fly for migrating current Informix4GL programs to run against a PostgresSQL database. What I'm talking about here is running native PostgresSQL statements within the 4GL for people who've maybe never heard of Informix 4GL/SQL. (For example - Aubit4GL has no CREATE TYPE statement, outer joins are different etc - a PostgresSQL programmer may not like the fact they need to PREPARE or SQL/ENDSQL around these statements that the current 4GL grammar rules don't recognise...).

I read in one of the postings that actually i can use postgresql with aubit encosing nonInformix sintaxis in SQL - END SQL block. it that true? where can i foun more info about this issue? regards, Jaime Casanova _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Aubit4GL will already take an Informix4GL program, and run it on postgres (mostly!). We have a translation module which takes care of a large portion of the differences, and theres also an Informix compatibility patch for postgres which takes care of some of the backend stuff too... And yes - you can either PREPARE or SQL-END SQL around any non-informix SQL statements..
