Why Powerbuilder ?
Hi, I face a strange problem.... In company I started to work recently someone years ago decided to do any client/server development ( internal use only ) in SQL Windows / Gupta. As a ex-Power user I never bought into this concept and I think there is no need to discuss which product is better.... The problem now is - a big new project is coming up and I'm trying to lobby for PB as toll to to realize it with ( SQL Server 6.5 as back end ). My boss however doesn't take my opinion for granted, wanted me to convince him that it's right way to go. I surfed the web for a few days collecting information about Delphi, VB etc to find arguments.... funny thing - even using the same examples and arguments depending who authors the article ( Microsoft, Borland or Powersoft ) - ALWAYS shows that his product is better.... so I'm as smart as I was at the beginning. I think the biggest question is : will Powerbuilder exist in a few years ? doubt it's the case with Centura... ) Is its propriatory language a barrier ? Will Java take over ? Whoever may contribute to this discussion I'd highly appreciate it ! thank you in advance rafael

Will Java take over ? One of the things that Powersoft has always been strong about is its open architecture. That's why there are so many database interfaces supported. I am expecting PowerBuilder to be around for a few more years at least.

Use PowerBuilder DLL in PowerBuilder
We use PB6.5. We would want to use a DLL create from PB in a PB application. We compiled an a PBL as DLL. After we tried to use DLL in a user object external, but without success. How can we do to use DLL create from PB or use in a new PB application some object (visual and no) before compiled with PB? Any help will be appreciated. Saul.Convalle@mail.cec.it Thanks When you create a DLL from a PB library it is not really a standard Windows DLL. I'm not sure what the difference is. If you are making calls from PB then just use the standard PB calling syntax the ...

Hi group, I've upgraded PB 6.5 with the last maintenance release but I always see Version 6.5 Build 444 into "About Powerbuilder..." in Help menu . It's right this?

Version of PowerBuilder (ref: Creating database for PowerBuilder)
I'm using PowerBuilder v8.0 and would like to create a notification system for my practiculum project. I'd like to use Access to create the database.

Unless you have a very good reason to do so, we recommend you don't use Access. Use SQL Anywhere instead - it's more stable - and a far better database in my opinion.
