PowerBuilder futureI wonder what is the future of PB. I have just saw an
article which Jhon Chen (Sybase CEO) says the following:
According to Chen the company had become over-diversified,
and
lost sight of its core competencies. "A lot of our
businesses were very inefficient," he explains. "I was
asking, 'why are you doing this?' You know we had an SAP
consulting business - what for? We had a product that
competed with Microsoft Visual Basic - what for? I had to
get rid of some bits and pieces."
In my understanding, the only Sybase product that have
competed with VB is...

Has anyone seen the article in computerworld issue of sep 27th 1999 -

Except you should not believe everything you read. I remember the mutterings
after PB 6.5 and currently Sybase is shipping EAS which PB 7.0 forms part
of. Again I was at Sybase TechW...
The future of PowerBuilder...That subject line should get your attention. <g>
I'm very pleased with the participation in this group. We've obviously
provided a well for a very thirsty group of developers!
As you may or may not know, PB 9 is about to go into Beta and the
feature set has pretty much been frozen. I know a lot of these
requests are for very useful features and hopefully many will some day
be incorporated into PB. I don't know what can be done for PB 9 at
this point. Just don't want to falsely get people's hopes up.
What I would like to do, is raise the discussion to a h...
The future of PowerbuilderI am looking for opinions and viewpoints. I think
Powerbuilder has 2 distinct and quite different markets.
The small to medium sized software market and corporate IT
market. In the software market where results are easy to
measure on the bottom line I think PB is doing just fine.
The productivity, efficiency and swift development process
suites that market just fine. Just keep your customers
happy. I am amazed at what I have seen in PB based software
packages considering the total lack of documentation. That
speaks volume on the capabilities of PB if you just get into
it.

Tables?! Why Tables?!
Bit random...but why does everything have to be rendered as a table? It's starting to get quite annoying.
Formview - does this need to be a table? the Menu?? Wouldn't it make sense to allow the option to...say...not render a Menu as a table? Am I the only one that thinks this or are there others?

You can use CSS Adapters to create your own adapters to override how the controls render it self. In the next version of ASP.Net, you will probably have more flexibility to specify the surrounding elements of th...
The Future of PowerBuilderHello!
Earlier this year, I came across an article in one of the
weekly industry newspapers that stated that Sybase
was telling major customers that PowerBuilder will be
discontinued after version 8.0.
(I can't remember which newspaper had the story and
I can't seem locate it by doing a Google search.
But I'm not making this up - I really did see it.)
At the PowerBuilder Information Site ( www.justpbinfo.com )
I came across the following article:

POWERBUILDER FUTURE? i am in Powerbuilder for past 4 Years.....currently i am in
india.
But my projects are in my last 4 years almost
maintenance & migration to advanced techniques...almost
zero development and the sad news is ,powerbuilder
developers are very less when compared to advance
techniques...
u know the PB versions are also coming yearly once &
introducing new concepts also almost not useful(i discussed
with lot of PB developers almost they are not using the
advance
techniques)
so everybody is going slowly out of PB technology...
In india last few years Pb usage is re...
From Table to TableI am working in Delphi 4 and ran into a roadblock I am unfamiliar with. I am trying to search and find values in one table based off of matching values in another. For example a table of objects with fields like name, description, type, ect; and a table of object properties in which each object can be represented multiple times based on the settings on the page at the time. So if i search the object property table (and eventually loop through to repeat for all objects) to find all cases of visible objects
when a certain criteria is met. It stops on the first object with "Yes" in th...

I haven't read the article, but I don't have to. I had a subscription to
ComputerWorld once. ComputerWorld was one of the biggest fans of the Apple is
dead movement. Guess they were wrong there...
The journalism in that magazine is terrible. Over the course of a year
subscription, I read most of the articles for about six months. Then I threw it
away until the subscription ...
Future of PowerBuilder #2Hi,
Can anybody point me to a good documentation or an article
about the future or the prospect of PowerBuilder??
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thanks

The Future of Powerbuilder #2I work for a fortune 500 company who is looking at developing a client
server software package. It is of course geared to be web enabled as well
as normal client server. As a Powerbuilder and Visual Basic programmer for
more than 8 years I believe that going with Powerbuilder on this project is
a good decision, my colleagues and managers does not. It has been rumored
for some time now that Powerbuilder is dying a slow but eminent death and
I'm rather saddened by this since I personally feel Powerbuilder is a great
tool to work with. I couldn't find any substantial informa...

PowerBuilder Catalog TablesHi Everyone,
I was just wondering if there was a way to access an Oracle Database without
PB having to create the Catalog tables, as I do not have write access to the
Database only read.
Thanks
Terry
You can disable the 'repository' in the database painter. Go to Design |

CREATE TABLE from PowerBuilderI am using this code from PowerBuilder 9 to create a temp table:
ls_sql = 'CREATE TABLE #rms_sid_input(sid int)'
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :ls_sql;
This table is successfully created, however, a procedure called from a
datastore is supposed to link that temp table with main table by ID
But at that point ASE gives the following message
Error: Number (208) Severity (16) State (1) Server (FL125DEV)
guest.#rms_sid_inpu00000980012651760 not found. Specify owner.objectname or
use sp_help to check whether the object exists (sp_help may produce lots of
output).
