You don't have to have Oracle WebServer to do just that. I'm running Apache webserver on AIX 4.1
and I set up a bunch of CGI scripts/ProC programs which access Oracle databases with SQL and format output so it looks nice on the client's browsers. We have both Netscape and OS/2 WebExporer.
Actually that stuff is pretty trivial.
