Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: WebServer - TCP/IP connection ?
Mark,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "type of TCP/IP connection". Are you referring to bandwidth, application protocol, etc.?
If you have a straight connection from your ISP to your machine that is running your WebServer, nothing is preventing you from hosting your database on this same machine. Since your clients will be accessing your home page from a browser, all you need to be concerned about from the client access is HTTP (which, of course, you probably *don't* have to be concerned about).
The WebServer (at least version 2.x) communicates with the database via an intermediate process, known as an OWA or Oracle Web Agent. But again, from the client's standpoint, they shouldn't know or care if they're accessing static HTML pages or dynamically generated ones...all they'll be using is a browser.
Make sense?
