You can install OWS on an IIS NT box. Oracle will then give you the option of only installing the OWS PL/SQL (CGI?) cartridge to work with IIS. Alternatively you need to use either CGI or PERL scripts (SQL*Net and SQL*PLus will be needed), or IIS features such as ASP or IDC (Oracle ODBC and SQL*Net will be needed).

Another option is to use a tool like Delphi Client-Server that enables you to write ISAPI DLLs that support native SQL*Net (i.e. no ODBC required) and auto produce HTML output from the data selected.

There are a lot of options. I suggest that the business requirements be clearly defined before attempting to decide what technology to use.
