Re: WebDB/OAS Newbie questions

Thanks for replying.

Can I ask a couple more questions?

1. Is there any documentation on how to use WebDB with OAS? I'm thinking in terms of how to set up a site and configure the OAS listeners and storing the pages in the database. I've just been on Oracle's OAS admin course, but no mention was made of the WebDB cartridge, which makes me suspect it's not documented... I'm at a disadvantage here because we are just in the process of getting hold of the software.
2. If you use WebDB with OAS, does that mean that WebDB basically becomes a way to design web pages with minimum difficulty? Can you use WebDB in this way to generate dynamic pages by running PL/SQL stored procedures via the OAS?

   I think I'm having difficulty in getting a picture of the    overall architecture of this sort of system. But I get the feeling    that Oracle don't really have a good idea about this either.
