Re: which programming is good for front end application to link to SQL



Hi.

Are you asking which programming language to use to create a front end
for a SQL Server database?

The easiest ones would be .NET languages like C# or VB.NET, which one
you use would depend on your programming background. You get good
support for creating database applications using Visual Studio.NET as
well as a very good drag and drop GUI designer. You have flexibility in
..NET as well because you could create a front end form or have a
web-based interface. You'll also find good references on the internet
and the MSDN documentation is pretty good as well.

If you are a Java developer then you can use Java, although you will
need to obtain the appropriate JDBC driver. In terms of resources and
documentation Java can probably match .NET. However, I find that
working with Java GUI frameworks (Swing, AWT) is a lot more work than
doing it in .NET, partially because there isn't a Java GUI designer
that can match Visual Studio.NET (in my opinion).
