Re: Front End switch

You need a webserver program to "receive" http request from web browser and "feed back" html page back to browser. You also need some thing that can communicate between webserver and oracle db. You can try "Apache" webserver (free) and perl cgi stuff, (also free).

http://www.apache.org/
www.perl.com

Hope this helps.
