Re: [HELP] How to read Oracle from the Internet?

I haven't experience in C++,Java,HTML, and JavaScript, :-) but under NT in \Start Menu\Programs\Oracle for Windows NT I found two programs: Net8EasyConfig and Net8Assistant. In those programs You can define the oracle server name and location (name.domain or IP), and protocol (for example TCP). After You define this params you can acces database on foreign host with any program using connection string <user>/<passwd>_at_<defined_database_service>. An user, that want to connect to foreign host must have Oracle client installed. When you have Pro*C (oracle classes for C++) installed on your system you can write any function you need to connect to database. Oracle Server runs the listener on port 1521.

P.S. I've tested this connection using telnet from foreign host to my LAN OraServer on port 1521. It.works.
