Re: What is the best way to integrate my db with the website?

Adam,

If your Database is going to be there for mainly queries/searches I think the best way to provide this without stuffing around with Oracle's web servers/application servers is JAVA.

Grab a copy of Oracle's 100% JAVA Thin Oracle drivers from their website and using either servlets or a cgi wrapper over JAVA applications provide the access using JAVA on an existing web site.

Alternatively you could using an applet to do the same.

This method works pretty well and is quite easy to put together, especially if you already have JAVA skills.
