They don't; there are a myriad options. I've got numerous 'normal users' who use a database to do reasonably sophisticated things. All you need is a good client; we use DbVisualizer [ http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/ ]. There are others, you don't need a programming language at all if all you want is "output data from database". Many of these, including DbVisualizer include GUI drag-n-drop query builders. Yes, you have to learn some SQL, but there is no case where you get something for nothing; and almost all humans are reliably quick-studies, even innovative, when they are properly motivated. > >others may require the assistance of a > J> technical specialist or a full-time programming team, but what's wrong > J> with that? > expenses of money, time, nerve to explain task to other man -- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org
