Re: Databases & the Internet

Hi again,

The Forms Builder I am using it Version6.0. Oracle 9i is the Oracle 9i database.

The application I am creating is a small test e-commerce application that will be stored on an Apache web server and should have access to about 100 users.

I am going on a small PHP course this week but have been told that the amount of information that is being taught isn't going to be susbstantial enough to just use PHP as the linking tool. However, was told that using Apache, PHP & MySQL would be the best choice.

I am looking to see how easy using Forms Builder 6.0 and the internet acutally is without the need to use PHP becuase of the above reasons.

Oracle Portal? Is this contained within Oracle 9i database?

What is 9iAS (R1 or R2)? I am unsure as to what you mean..Sorry! When using 9iAS (R1 or R2) is it a case of adding tags into the HTML?

Many Thanks again.
