Re: Web/DB Development Tools?

Too add,

[Quoted] We're looking at doing a similar project, albeit on a lesser scale. We [Quoted] presently use Cold Fusion, however I am looking into WebDB ( seeing how it [Quoted] came free with 8i and all). It would be nice to keep all the project in the [Quoted] Oracle family.

One question to add to the originals, can WebDB function with just an Oracle [Quoted] db or do you need something like OAS

[Quoted] To answer question 3, we use Cold Fusion now with Oracle. Works ok, connections are a little slow, but maybe that's our problem. I haven't [Quoted] figured out a way to run PL/SQL though.

Many thanks

Mikel
