C++ can do it for me?

Hello people! I think it is my first message here.

Well, I would go to start a Delphi database program, but now my client
want a program that runs in Linux. So I want to know your opinion:
what best language/IDE I can use for my purposes? I need mainly:

MySQL or Potsgree SQL ***remote connection***(it's the most important).
GUI interface.
Report generator.
Barcode printing.

I just remember that for now...

What do you think?

Thank you! Bye!

I'd say the one you know best. What's wrong with the Linux version of
Delphi?

This is actually off-topic here. I'd suggest comp.programming or maybe
comp.os.linux.development.

To answer the question in the subject line: Yes, you can do that using C++
with some (non-standard) libraries.

Get a high-level scripting language like Ruby.

C++ is the language to create low-level systems, like MySQL itself.

I agree with Rolf. Go for Kylix, the Linux version of Delphi

Visual Basic fans could find a similar solution in REALbasic
