WRT: "I feel the whole OE system architecture and deployment are more complex than software like Sql*server" It is the actually easiest system I know: 1. open ProEnv 2. enter: prodb sean sports 3. enter: prowin32 sean -1 Voila. There's your DB, you're connected to it in single user, you're in the editor to write some sample programs (for example: FOR EACH customer: DISPLAY customer. END.). Press F2 to execute the program. Doesn't get any less complex than that... Once you want to do production type stuff, with tons of users connected to the system, spread it all out over multiple machines, and so on it get's more complicated, of course. But, it still is easy enough that one person has a chance to know all about it. Show me another system where this is possible...
WRT: "ABL is funky". Analogy: For somebody who is used to drive a horse and buggy a car is funky!
I wish you much joy and fun exploring this new language, DB, and environment! May you look back to this time years from now and think: Shoot! Should have known about that sooner!!!
