If you want to get fancy, you can use the Oracle Web Server and use the PL/SQL 'cartridge' to access the database. Unfortunately, Oracle has their own ideas about generating HTML from the database using built in procedures and functions. Also the Web Sever and Developer 2000 support a JAVA implimentation of Forms and Reports that works pretty well. Even though Developer 2000 is GUI, it uses the same basic principals the Forms 3.0 does, I used to work with 3.0 and found the transition wasn't too bad.
The very easiest way is just to use PERL with the ora-perl libraries, it's free, but the runs as a CGI script. You'll need some SQL*NET version to provide connectivity to the database. Received on Fri Apr 03 1998 - 00:00:00 CEST
