Re: Openroad to different tech stack

[Chris Clark]

OpenROAD 4gl has some language features not available in other languages, for example, SQL as a first class part of the language so converting is non-trivial.

OpenROAD does support calling into other languages and for other languages to make calls into OPenROAD business logic, for example Java code calling into an OpenROAD 4gl procedure (via the OpenROAD Server). Integrating with other systems is a safer and more flexible approach than translating/porting and ending up with the same functionality after sinking development time. There are some alternative deployment options, like Loadnrun (https://docs.actian.com/openroad/6.2/index.html#page/ServerRef/Loadnrun.htm) and WebGen (https://academy.actian.com/actian-openroad-json-json-rpc-and-webgen-functionality) that might help if you are looking at flexibility of deployment.

What are you trying to achieve?
