Re: Language choice for high-volume Oracle CGI interface?

Greg,

I believe somebody else already mentioned the Oracle App Server. You might also want to take a look at third party application servers. You might also want to take a look at third party application servers. We are using a products called "Tango" made by Pervasive. It basically encapsulates your SQL queries in an easy to maintain container for the application logic and it lets you add your own Java or C++ code pieces for time critical operations. It also uses OCI instead of ODBC and is scalable across multiple platforms should you ever grow out of NT.

Check out http://www.pervasive.com/products/tango for more details.
