Quoting from article

Customized or specialized applications that interface with a database are
often used by businesses to expedite business processes. To move these
programs to Linux, IT would need to ensure compatibility as part of a
migration strategy.

What list members think about possible application on Linux like VB/Access?
What about MySQL or Pgsql with Qt or GNONE? Is it possible to create
console-based apps in Linux?
