306.0. "SQL*FORMS,FMS,TDMS?" by TROA01::SPACKMAN () Fri Feb 17 1989 18:29

    	I am trying to get an understanding of how most Oracle customers
    develop applications. By applications I mean those that involve input
    screens, menus, etc. as well as reports. Do most develop such
    applications using pure SQL*FORMS or do they use pure 3GL code or some 
    combination of the two? 
    
    	If 3GL code is being used as the primary development tool, what
    is being used to do forms management ... SQL*FORMS, or a FORMS product
    such as FMS or TDMS? 
    
    	In addition to understanding their customer base, I am also trying to
    clarify in my mind, the role that SQL*FORMS plays.
    
    	If those of you who deal with customers who are running Oracle
    could comment, I'd appreciate it.
    
    Thanks
