Like we all know Internet Explorer will retire in 2022. I have an app in Oracle Forms 10.1.2. In future I'm planning to rewrite the app for other technology. However, it must be available during this process.
Is there a possibility to run Oracle Forms in this version on MS EDGE or CHROME?
We've got number of old Oracle Forms applications. Yes, they run with MS Internet Explorer & JInitiator.
Google Chrome offers extension that - as they say - enables you to run Forms in Chrome. Have a look at ThinForms Enterprise:
The ThinForms Enterprise Chrome Extension allows you to run Oracle Forms and Oracle EBS Applets & Applications, as well as Oracle Discoverer directly from Google Chrome on Windows, OSX and Linux, or from Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

As part of an internship project, I am looking to deploy an application on PC (Windows 10) as well as on mobile digital media such as tablets.
I have some programming knowledge in VB.Net and have the Visual Basic 2010 Express IDE. Is a Windows Forms Application executable on Windows 10 tablets? If yes, are there compatibility issues (e.g. tactile events)? I am looking for the most suitable equipment for daily use for production monitoring operations. All the devices must have access to the same database to draw up daily reports from a master tool (a PC).
Is a Windows Forms Application executable on Windows 10 tablets?
Yes, Windows 10 tablets are able to run traditional Win32/.NET desktop applications. Please refer to the following article for more information about this: https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-arm-not-windows-rt.
As mentioned in the comments, you should be aware of the fact that tablet users may excpect a more touch friendly UI compared to what a traditional Windows Forms application may offer by default though.
If you intend to target only Windows 10+, you might want to to take a look at the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).
My current task at my job is to install the DB2 11.1 Data Server Client for our users on windows 10. I grabbed the installer from IBM's site and installed it successfully, BUT it's only installing command line tools. When looking at the 9.7 package on a windows 7 workstation, it provides a bunch of GUI based tools. Can someone tell me where i'm going wrong? Has anyone had success installing 11.1 on Windows 10?
Db2-v11 clients for Linux/Unix/Windows no longer come with the old GUI tool known as the Control-Center.
Some Db2-client types still include the Replication-Center GUI. You need to choose your Db2-client type carefully.
The replacement for the Control Center is IBM Data Studio, which is a separate download, and also for some functionality the IBM Data Server Manager.

Other companies supply alternative lightweight GUI client tools that work with Db2. For example Db-visualizer, Squirrel-SQL and many other Java based tools. Oracle SQL-Developer also works with Db2, as does Toad for Db2.
None of those tools third-party can cope with all the different variants of Db2-functionality, especially in the area of DPF or Purescale or latest variants of syntax for different platforms. Latest versions of IBM Data Studio try to cover most cases. But many of the third party tools are good enough for many simple use cases.
I'm trying to set up my environment for developing asp.net vNext + Entity Framework 7 on my OSX.
Apparently, there is no provider for MySQL neither PostgreSQL yet. Thus, what can be used as database for developing on OSX?
What you folks have been doing for develop asp.net vNext on OSX? Or should I set up a Windows VM?
Any suggestion?
I've got even an open issue on Github on this topic.
Cheers
We will have a PostgreSQL and/or MySQL provider for EF7 (either delivered by our team or we'll work with a provider writer to help them build it). Work hasn't started on them yet though.
We haven't been focusing on EF7 on Mono at this stage, so there are likely some rough edges. We do have some folks who have successfully used it to connect to a remote SQL Server though.
To date, no RDBMS is supported on OSX for EF7.
Since (LocalDB)\v11.0 doesn't allow remote access and run on OSX/LNX, I've setup a SQLServer2012 Express and SQLServer 2012 Standard Edition hosted on a local Windows VM to establish a remote DB connection from my Visual Studio Code project.
From Visual Studio Code running on OSX, EF7 fails to successfully connect and interact with those local SQL Servers. In this instance, I was using the ASP.NET 5 Music Store example project: GitHub Source
Oh, and with all the SSL requirements, AZURE SQL Server is out of the question as an option.
Microsoft is heading in the right direction, we'll get there, but you're dealing with bleeding edge EF7 at the moment which is a complete reengineering from EF6.
Complete Oracle n00b here. I have to maintain a legacy form that was developed using Oracle forms 6i and runs on an Oracle 8i backend. Is there any location on the web from where I can still download Oracle forms 6i? If not then whats the best way to run this form on a newer version of oracle?
You won't get Forms 6i free on the web (at least not legally). If you have a current support contract with Oracle, they would be able to supply the base install and patchsets. Don't expect it to work with Windows Vista or 7 though. XP should be okay.
I have heard of Forms 6i working against even 11g databases, though there are character set restrictions.
There is an upgrade path from Forms 6i to the later versions of Forms, which all require the use of an App Server model (rather than the client server model of earlier Forms versions). Forms 6i had the option of either client/server mode or app server mode.
There is a link for download on OTN. Though haven't tried it. (It requires registration )
Regarding new versions, I'm developing in Forms 6i on Windows 7 (x86) and Oracle 11g R2 with no problems for 6 months.
If you want to upgrade to Forms 9 or newer, then you'll have to also install Application Server because it is on 3-tier architecture (client - app server - server) instead of 2-tier on 6i (client - server).
I've transformed one simple but real-world form from 6i to Forms 10 within about hour. So, it's definitely possible. But it was just to check how hard it is and I'm not using that (Forms 10) form, so there could be some issues.
hi I have been looking for help with not much luck till i arrived here.
I want to develop an SQL server database and an application which will act as a server to allow a pda to send data to and wirelessly synchronise and information to sendAs it uses mobile application I would like to utilise it over a WIFI network.Any information would be very apreciated. I will be using visual studio to develop as it has SQL SERVER in built.
Thanks

If you use SQLCE on the PDA there are two technologies that could help.
SQL Merge Replication
ADO.NET Synchronisation Services
Microsoft Sync Framework v2.0 CTP1 is fairly new (Oct '08 release from MS) You can get more information about it, and the latest releases from the Microsoft Sync Framework page.
"Microsoft Sync Framework is a
comprehensive synchronization platform
that enables collaboration and offline
access for applications, services and
devices. It features technologies and
tools that enable roaming, sharing,
and taking data offline. Using
Microsoft Sync Framework, developers
can build sync ecosystems that
integrate any application, with any
data from any store using any protocol
over any network."
