Companies that have been using Oracle Forms for quite some time have started to look for alternatives. With the rise of new technologies, people are looking to migrate to newer solutions.


It’s not a surprise that this is happening. Since 2019 Oracle Forms is no longer maintained and does not support any new releases. Before we can discuss why migrating away from Oracle Forms is a good idea in 2023 and beyond, let's break down some historical context.

What Are Oracle Forms?


Forms were originally designed for use in conjunction with Oracle’s flagship database, Oracle Database (DB). The idea behind Forms was that forms could be used as a graphical interface for creating and editing records in the DB.


In fact, it was the first application ever developed to use a graphic user interface (GUI). It was released in 1985 and quickly became a must-have tool for DB users. Over time, Oracle Forms has evolved into more than just a database access tool. Forms offer several features and tools that allow you to create, edit, and manage data in your DB without using SQL commands.


It offers a rich set of features for both front-end and back-end development, including:


● A large number of pre-built user interface controls

● A drag-and-drop UI builder

● A visual designer

● Rich business logic

● SQL queries

● Dynamic data validation



It sounds like a phenomenal technology stack to keep and use within everyday workflows, right? So what is the point of even migrating to anything else?


Some of the reasons why people are migrating away from Oracle Forms are as follows.

First of all, Oracle Forms is a legacy technology. It is very old and there are a lot of things that are missing.


There are a lot of features that have been removed and to try and reinstall these features is difficult patchwork for any developer. It is not the most user-friendly platform to interface with either.

Another big problem with Oracle Forms is that it doesn't integrate well with other modern systems. Many times, people are forced to build a custom solution that works around the system itself. Users are stuck bridge building as opposed to working within Oracle Forms.


I’m sure you can imagine the technical maintenance headache that would bring.

Thirdly, the database model for Oracle Forms is outdated. It takes a lot of work to create forms with it. Also, you will have to spend a lot of money to fix any random breaks within the system to really scale any patchworked business solution.





Therein lies why we’ve developed the ARD platform to solve this issue for any companies relying on Oracle’s systems. ARD Business Solutions If you are looking for a low code Business Reporting tool to automate your business processes, you should consider ARD.



With the ARD platform, you can easily create documents like invoices, purchase orders, product orders, product receipts, customer receipts, purchase orders, product receipts, order receipts, and so on.


Data scientists often rely on sophisticated tools and software to analyze and interpret large volumes of data. One such tool is the Oracle Report Builder, which allows users to design and generate reports based on data from an Oracle database.
