Yes they do fine, webdb is implemented as a cartride (dynamic load library) in oas.

Yes you can, you can even include ssl security.
> Some other questions:
> 1. Can you use WebDB remotely via SQLnet?
Yes you can, but there are some problems on certain versions of the db when using reports based on a sql-statement:
[Quoted] problem is in oci, there's a patch available for 8.1.5.
> 2. What listener does WebDB use and can you change it?
It uses it's own listener, wich is a small version of oas. But as mentionned [Quoted] above, you can use oas with the wdbctx cartridge.
> 3. What's the latest version of WebDB?
The latest version is 2.2. 3.0 is in Beta. Received on Fri Mar 03 2000 - 22:04:52 CET
