[WarpCast] Oracle WebBB and OS/2 - 8/21/99 |
Coming August 1999 -- Inet.Mail Pro 1.5 Virtual domains on a single ip address, increased performance, and more from the best mail server for OS/2. http://www.hethmon.com -- sales@hethmon.com ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Quinn Sinnott (dbmuqs@ars-grin.gov) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** 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.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
