Re: Oracle 7.3 and 8i

If your going to be (or your ISP is going to be) creating the web front end from scratch, then you dont need to move your DB to Oracle 8 at all. Stick with Oracle 7.3.2, use something like Cold Fusion or even ASP (yuck) to create the web front end. Cold Fusion does a beautifull job of generating reports and giving data on web pages, via Oracle backend. It works with both ODBC and direct SQLNet... www.allaire.com
