Re: Oracle Webserver Vs. other Webservers

There's a slew of white papers, Mike, but to us the deciding vote is twofold: the Oracle Web Agent is multi-threaded, which allows a client's query and processing to hold state; otherwise you're wasting i/o's connecting to and validating processes each time. Secondly, the use of PL/SQL allows us to tightly, tightly control which generic role can execute the SQL, and thus control the database security very easily. I like that in a database....
