Re: Help on getting Oracle data to Apache

Now guys all of u three are talking abt using cgi etc to get into the oracle database ..
there is one complete different slon..
Load oracle web application server 3.0 upwards on the uding the Apache Web Server as the Listener. Hence now using about 10 lines of code using the PLSQL cartridge there are ready made systems in the HTP package i.e. htp.download procedure is available for pulling out the data onto a webpage dynamically also or else if comfortable with the Perl Cartridge..
If I am on the right track do write back Or check technet.oracle.com -> internet servers -> application server -
> documentation -> developers packages
