Pardon this newbie to Oracle. We have a competent Oracle DBA in house
but his knowledge falls shy of Web Admin. We have an 8.1.7 Oracle
instance running on AIX 4.3. I want to connect the instance to the
web.
I understand Oracle comes with Apache and have a request pending to
have it installed and configured on the same server as the Oracle
instance. I have worked with Progress, SQL Server and DB2 and set up
multiple web sites so I am passingly familiar with web architecture,
html, cgi, perl etc. I have set up my own connections between dbs and
web server via ksh, perl and cgi. I am hoping for a tighter
integration for Oracle.
What I need to know is which Oracle solution, toolkit, software
topology I should employ to join the Oracle instance and the web
server so that I can retrieve the database and server metric data I
will store there. Queries will be submitted via html forms and I
intend to present the data in line charts (for which I use gnuplot and
ppmtogif on my other sites). I usually create web pages in an HTML
tool and then add scripting to handle the data presentation.
Many Thanks,
Mark
