I appreciate the answers given..my intent was not to ruffle any feathers..just trying to learn and understand. As stated earlier, I am not a 4GL expert.

Just trying to understand that perhaps the solution isn't to spend more money or build a better mouse trap but consider other language alternatives to get the job done without having to invest a new system design. The Progress DB supports many ways to get to the database, making sure developers are aware of the strengths and weakness of 4GL may influence them on which language will help them get the task done in the least amount of time. Thank you for your time.
