291.0. "ORACLE Conversion: SQL*FORMS to RALLY?" by TRCU09::NAISH (RDB4ME Paul Naish @ 637-3352) Mon Jan 23 1989 18:27

    This question was asked in note 181 with no replies so here goes
    again.
    
    One of the best tools we could have is an ORACLE to VIA conversion.
    Now, I don't know ORACLE but am lucky enough to have a set of
    documentation.
    
    From looking at SQL*FORMS, I see a similarity between it and RALLY
    (this should start an active discussion). I also came across the
    mechanisim for moving SQL*FORM from one vendor to another. Seems 
    there is a text file produce which describes the form and is used to
    generate the binaries on another system.
                                            
    My question is, has anyone looked at a SQL*FORMS to RALLY Conversion
    tool? I know we don't have an IMPORT function in RALLY but I suspect
    one could be written.                     
                                              
    Think of the business this could generate!

Or, if all you want is SQL and forms, something that would convert SQL*FORMS
to Rdb/VMS + VAXforms ?

    Great suggestion, my friend... let us know when you've completed
    the code!
