There is NO comparisson between the mighty R:BASE vs PowerBuilder. Its like
comparing apples and oranges. R:BASE provides a TOTAL soultion with
integrated database, gui and programming language.
Powerbuilder on the other hand should only EVER be compared with VB, as they
are both event driven programming languages. When you purchase either PB or
VB, you DO NOT get a database engine with the product. The engine must be
purchased separately.
While PB is very powerful, I can tell you from vast experience with both
products, that you will code the R:BASE app in 1/2 the time and implement
the solution at 1/2 the cost (roughly speaking) by choosing R:BASE.
In addition, the learning curve for PB is large, unless you are already a
competent VB programmer, at which point you will notice many similarities.
My suggestion is that you try to convince the client to stick with R:BASE if
possible.
