We tested 4D JDBC adaptor some time ago, back when it was still in beta. We found it too slow and restricted. Fine for read-only but not for a fully fledged WO applications. Unfortunately the 4D data base is too restrictive in its data types (no timestamps, no nulls).

Mind you, it's now been a while since we last had a look at it, so maybe the JDBC adaptor is better. Data type issues are likely to still remain.

In the end we decided to replicate data between 4D and a MySQL database which was the back-end to our WO application.

I'm new to WebObjects, well I haven't actually started yet, I'm just
deciding whether to use it for my next project. I've been looking at the
various DBMS and things like Openbase and Frontbase seem a little highly
priced for my initial needs especially when you can use MySQL for free BUT
I'm not overly keen on using MySQL so I wondered if anyone was using or had
used 4D, they have a JDBC driver etc.. and are reasonably priced.


I'm looking to use it for a web application.
