Recommendations for Front End with Oracle on Windows 2003 back end

Hi All,

My company develops Baggage Sortation systems for Airports. We have our
sortation application running, which is basically a hot standby system with
two machines - One Main, one Standby. The application runs on Windows 2003
server, and consists of several processes, with an Oracle database. The
server application code is mainly written in Visual C++ with MFC and the
system communicates with the external plant and the Oracle database. The
bulk of the data ends up being stored in Oracle.

We have an old thick client front end built with Visual C++ and MFC and some
..NET code.
We have full MSDN and access to all Microsofts product set - Visual Studio
etc...
My question is a general one and comes two fold :

1. What would be the 'best' choice of languages and technology to develop a
new Thick Client front end?

2. What would be the 'best' choice of languages and technology to develop a
new Thin Client front end?

(We were thinking maybe Visual C# and ASP as an option for the thin client?)

Any recommendations for direction and sample / examples would be much
appreciated.

Dave.

Hi Dave,

If you're developing a data app, I suggest you use Visual C# on a WinForm
app for thick client. You can use Visual C# and ASP.NET for a thin client.
HTH.

What additional steps are needed to allow web apps to access oracle ODP.NET resources under Windows Server 2003? When using Oracle's ODP.NET (9.2.0.401) from a WebForm I get permission errors when invoking oracle - System Error: Unable to load DLL (OraOps9.dll). Impersonation fixes the error - but cannot be used as a production solution. Under Windows 2000 all you needed to do after installing the Oracle ODP was granting read and...

Sorry for the long post, I've tried so hard to solve this one but I'm just stuck! We've had a multiuser .mdb file on a network share for years. I know it's not ideal, but it's worked well from Access 2000 to 2003. Ever since we upgraded to 2007, we've noticed some serious bloating. When we were on 2003, after a fresh compact, the database would be at about 20 MB. After normal use it would grow to about 25 MB and then significantly...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
