Please don't post HTML.

You can't use 4GL with Redbrick, I'm not sure about whether one of the 4GL
clones supports ODBC, but I'd guess that a lot of stuff just wouldn't work.

You can't really compare IDS 9, a general-purpose extensible database with
RedBrick, a single-purpose reporting server. RedBrick is very good at
running queries fast and loading big chunks of data, it's useless at
everything else.
