we're running Oracle7.3.2. and Appache web server on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 on Ultra 1.

Our clients needs to access the database through web browsers. Some of the applications want to monitor the database and they just keep querying every minute.

Obviously, i don't want to do "CONNECT" and "EXIT" for every query, every minute. I'd like to keep the connection alive across the net. Is FastCGI the approach i should take or should i use ODBC/JDBC for this purpose (to keep the DB connection alive till i complete all my transactions.) ?

What are the advantages and disadvantages ? I'm new to both FastCGI and the ODBC/JDBC.

I really appreciate any information on this..

thanks
Guna Govind.
