- I would like to structure the code in development so that the transition to
- Informix 4GL++ is as smooth as possible. Does anyone have an idea what
- Informix is planning to do in this area? For example, we could at the present
- time conceive of an "object" as
-
- a module of code ----|
- a table -------------|-- together, an object
- a form -------------|
-
- I know this isn't strictly an object since any table cannot be bound to a
- certain piece of code. Nevertheless it does begin to imitate an object in
- that it has an entity (table) and its behavior (code). The so-called objects
- would be reusable among programs.
-
- However thinking and developing this way may not be what Informix is planning.
- If you have more on this then I thank you for sending it.
