Re: Oracle and the WWW

I received a copy of Oracle Designer/2000 WebServer Generator Technical Overview published Feb, 1996 - and it looks really good. Without knowing anything about your setup I would say that you are looking at a rewrite, especially if you are still using a v6 db. If you are considering the case solution to generate your www system, remember that there is a learning curve for case and that there is a lot of up front work before you see any results and then its just about done. At least thats the way I found case applications work.
