computer language

[AndreRIO]

what is the most powerful computer language available today? (visual dbase, visual basic, c++, delphi, i was looking for something like dbase 3 plus, but for the windows gui) can anyone help?

It all depends on what you want to do. Each language has its strengths and weaknesses. If you can be more specific about what you want to accomplish, someone here may be able to help you.

I think you might be looking for the most feature oriented, if you listed VB with c++.

The most powerful language is more than likely going to always be ASM (short of CPU ucode). ASM is direct control.

If you are dealing with just databases and will use only the tools that come with the database software, you'll be dealing with SQL, a query language used to pull data from the db....

If you are writing programs to use the database, you'll probably end up using some SQL embeded in other languges.. which language you use is really up to you... C/C++, Java, Perl, VB, etc... they all can interface with DBs using various methods (Most often through ODBC).

What kind of db programming are you looking for? Stand alone or client server?

If your looking for something fairly confusing there is Oracle.

Most "newbie" friendly i'd say are Java, C/C++, J++, Logo, and Visual Basic
