>solutions?
WDBC creates a high speed pipe between the back-end application server and the browser - particularly the sockets version is as fast as you will get. The Netscape and IIS multithreaded APIs (ISAPI and NSAPI) are very efficient. Basically WDBC is as efficient as putting a dumb terminal in host mode on a back-end application server.
Also, compare the cost - WDBC uses IIS or Netscape Web servers, not Oracle's own server, and WDBC licencing is low cost.
I suggest you try it - we used to have similar arguments with the sister product WebLink, but that community is now convinced of its performance. The proof of the pudding.....
