Windows GUI SQL-RDBMS Search

Question

I have an application that I developed 20 years ago with INFORMIX-SQL version 2.10 for MS-DOS 5.0. I am working on MS-DOS 6.22 in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 under Windows Vista, but I would like to rewrite this application using an WINDOWS-based RDBMS.

I am looking for a product similar in functionality to informix-sql, but for windows where:

• Will generate free (.exe) programs that do not require runtime.
• Quickly prototype screens, reports, stored procedures (application generator).
• Integrated Development Environment.
• Rich functionality.

I watched:

• Fourjs
• Visual foxpro
• Access
• Oracle

Any suggestions?

Answer 5

FileMaker pro is a good alternative. However, I’m not entirely sure about the royalty-free part. It is also a cross platform.
