The main product that my company sells has about 500,000 lines of code, 17% of
which are database related. It's a retail banking system written using the
Progress 4GL. Our second biggest product is about 150,000 lines of which about
26% are database related. Its a financial messaging systems written in VB, C++,
and SQL Server stored procedures.
Sure, databases are important for business applications but the 'app' code is
rather important too!
