Which is the best for Database Handling?

[Cybermac]

Good Day, I have an question regading database handling which is the best language? is it JAVA or Visual Basic? and why?

What kind of Database? (i.e. Access, SQL Server, Oracle, etc...) and platform (unix, windows...etc...). What would you like the program to do?

this is an open ended question. Is it vb 6.0 or vb.net(which runs on .net platform)?
1. Do you want to run your app on multiple platforms?
2. because of the way distributed processing work, java is way far more superior than vb unless your company is a MS shop.
and on and on and on...

Thanks for your reply.. my database is SQL and I want to create a program for Inventory system thru LAN only.. what is the best Language for Database applcation it is JAVA of Visual basic and my platform is Windows

Still too openended.
Personally I don't like VB for anything but it has its uses if all you want is a small tool on Windows.

SQL, what SQL? MS SQL Server?

Why not consider Delphi? It's specialised for Windows based (and now Linux based) database applications.

i work with vb 6.0. it's an excellent tool if you are writing an app across the lan. i'm not sure whether you still can get visual studio 6.0 though. I am using .NEt right now to create some C/C++ dlls because VS 6.0 is no longer available.

if you think that future development will require some web access, then you should rethink about whether it is viable or not to use client server app.

>> and my platform is Windows

If your complete platform is Windows then using .NET with Visual Studio 2003 will provide you with the greatest RAD environment currently available.

The thing is, I have no idea if that is what your asking.

If you only have the requirements which you have presented to us here, you better get busy with some analysis and requirements before you even begin to think about a language or writing any code.
