For those Oracle Developers who want to work in an 
OS/2 environment there is a ray of hope. Using the 
built in JavaScript capabilities of OS/2 Netscape 
and Warp's Java you can develop and run applications 
that access Oracle databases over the web. WebDB 
allows you to create and run queries, reports and 
input forms strictly using a Java enabled browser. 
While not as powerful at this point as its big 
brother Developer 2000 it has one big plus and that 
is: it works under OS/2!

I am currently using the NS 4.61 beta2 and java 
1.1.8, NS 2.02 works but has some screen rendering 
problems and occasional JavaScript errors. WebDB and 
the Oracle database needs to run on a Solaris, *nix 
or NT box but developers and users need only a 
browser. You can download WebDB at 
http://technet.oracle.com/ after registering.


[Moderator's note: I use WebDB with Navigator/2 2.02
to access Oracle 8 databases without any problems.]
