Hi,

I have Oracle Web Application Server 3.0 and Oracle Database Server 7.3.3. The application is a simple application where I do database operations and display entry screens with html on a given browser.

What I want to do now is grab some data from the database, create a graph ( maybe gif .. can I use any other formats ?? .. I want it to look good .. read colorful :-) ) and display on the browser.

Any ideas how I can go about it. One method I thought was to write a PRO*C program which grabs data from the database and use 'gd' libraries to display the graphs.

Are there any other ways to do this ?? Would Report Writer generate gif reports ? Are there any ways to this within the Oracle product Suite without using libraries like 'gd' and/or without using PRO*C.

I am comparatively new to this stuff so all/any ideas/details are welcome.

Thanks.

Tejas.
