I can think of a bunch offhand, actually.

First, there's the Oracle Webserver.
You can see their whitepaper on the subject and some technical notes at:

<URL:http://www.oracle.com/mainEvent/webServer/tech.html>

It consists of several products including a web "listener" (basiclly an httpd), a "web agent" (a piece of software that uses the CGI interface to access stored PL/SQL statements), and the Oracle7 RDMBS.

Second, the an oracle-web gateway called WOW (the predecessor to the oracle Webserver).

If you're a perl programmer, you can make use of the CGI interface using either oraperl (an extended version of perl4):

or perl5 and the DBI interface:

hope one of those can help you!
