Windows programming language for database application
Is there a programming language optimised for the production of a SQL database application for Windows? (using ODBC or whatever)
I know of VB and C++ (don't have a compiler right now) but haven't explored much else?
Was hoping there's something that lets me dive in there quickly and get the results I need without wading through tons of code first.

OK well there is plenty of choice really.
If you are looking for something that involves little or no code then you could look at something like Clarion been around for years but never been really mainstream. Or you could look at Microsoft Access, you can design forms and tie them to the data all within the database itself. Microsoft FoxPro has always been a good tool that is closely tied to its own database although it has been neglected somewhat in recent years.
Language wise you could also look at Delphi (highly productive development environment) or Java although I think java is let down by very poor development tools.

Gary, the database is already setup. Its MySQL and has server side scripting (ASP, CF) accessing it already. I need to move away from browser based stuff for the time being and write a windows application.
I've used Access and its more of a toy really - not fully SQL compliant, etc...
I'll take a look at Clarion & Delphi - thanks
