Re: Oracle Webserver Vs. other Webservers

We are using Oracle webserver at work. We are extremely happy with the methodology (networking computing,
...etc ). What makes it real neat that a lot of PL/SQL code is reusable. We have front-ends to Oracle
using Developer 2000 and web front ends (using PL/SQL and the web server).

If you are a Oracle shop and have a lot of programmers familiar with PL/SQL then Webserver is the most logical way to go. Oracle webserver saves from CGI scripting, ODBC/JDBC, Perl etc. Coding is very elegant.

Also, you can write packages in PL/SQL which work like Netscape API or Microsoft IIS API applications. The whole package remains in SGA (RAM) and does not use multiple threads like a standard CGI app would do.

I really like it.
