I noticed a couple of replies already to your query

sorry guys I think you missed the point

Am I right in assuming that the applet is the client and the database sits on the server.

If this is the case then the applet will look like any other HTTP client and the server must handle the interaction with the database - in this context, the Tim Bunce Perl/Oracle interface is wizzo.

If what you are talking about is a java CGI like application, then the tools mentioned in the other replies may be appropriate - but I suspect you may be in for a lot of pain using this approach.
