I have a couple of questions regarding real world Oracle Development on UNIX servers. You can think I am a novice in Oracle. Just trying to learn a few things, as I am getting mixed up in some tools and OS they use. 1. If you use oracle FORMS, can they be developed in Windows environment using ODS and transfer (.fmb or .fmx) it to Unix server and run it on the client side? How do you develop forms in real world? 2. I guess you don't use windows based SQL*Plus if you're on Unix system. It should have its own emulating software where you can type PL/SQL. How do you develop PL/SQL? I also hear about this TOAD. is TOAD widely used for developing PLSQL? Thanks for your kind answers... I need to ask more once u reply.
