MS-Access-like development environment?
Hi;
I'm looking for a tool to develop form-based client apps, like MS Access; only using java/jdbc instead of VBA. Does anything like that exist? Particularly, what provides the best forms-type facilities among NetBeans, Eclipse, JDeveloper, IntelliJ?
Any opinions appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul

Why does your database development environment have to be Java/JDBC?
I wouldn't choose a database on that basis. I'd prefer a good relational database and admin tool, regardless of language, that Java could easily connect to with JDBC.
My preference these days is PostgreSQL.

IntelliJ has nice plugins, like DBHelper, that let you interact with relational databases right in the IDE.But it's not intended to replace the RDB admin tool.%
