SQL Server 2008: Front-End Languages

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Show all headers | View raw

Dear SQL'ers:

     Enough playing in the guts.  Now, I need to figure out which
language or language to use for front-end code.  The system being
planned is for a small company, and the system must be easily
modifiable.

     What are your suggestions, and how does one get strated with your
suggestions?

My Wish List:

     I strongly want as much intelligence in the database as possible.
Using the DBMS as merely a filestore is not acceptable.

     I would like a language that has a good development environment,
including a source-level debugger.  Interpreted code is just fine with
me, but it is not a requirement.

     It should catch lots of errors.  C's (generally) ignoring of
signed integer overflows is the wrong direction.

     It should not suffer from architecture astronauts.  Java is a
culprit here.

     One of the people who will eventually be programming for the
system being planned likes Microsoft Access.  Will it do?


     So what do you suggest?  What questions am I not asking that I
should?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
