Re: Forms and Reports on the web - HOW?

Yo do not need the Application Server just use the cgi interface. The Server can be used for secdualling the update odff your jobs and cache your reports so that the Application server sends off the result for you without quering the db again. Check out http://www.oracle.com/tools/oracle_reports/index.html as well.
