openedge sql sounds more and more like its developed as a product on its own and specifically targeting the java community
never thought about it that way ... why not ? it's a twist, just think about it ...
one thing i did not like is there view on sql and 4gl, which is reflected in the features and development
<quote>
... The ABL is specifically written and optimized for business transaction processing, which typically emphasizes fast database write operations ...
... OpenEdge SQL, which is specifically written and optimized for complex query operations ... This access method is found in many applications, including Business Intelligence, which typically emphasize fast database read operations.

looks like we're probably not going to get fast read operation features anytime soon or see any atm-like read benchmarks
i think, mostly, you're either a 4gl or java etc. developer. being a 4gl developer i'd like a complete platform fast read operations, native gui etc.
