You can do anything that PL/SQL allows you to do. All the WebServer does is translate URLs into procedure calls, so a simple procedure might just extract some data and return it as HTML, whereas a more complex one may put up a form and let you do updates etc.

Both Designer & Developer 2000 support the generation of WebServer applications. There are some interesting issues around authentication and security however.

Cheers.
Martin.
