: : : What does everyone think about technologies such as
: : : Active Server Pages, Cold Fusion, Server-Side Javascript (Livewire),
: : : server-side java, and even Perl/Cgi or any others?
: : : In your opinions, what are some pros/cons of each?
: : : If you do not currently use some of these methods of connecting
: : : to databases, etc, are there any you would consider for current or future
: : : projects??
: : Database connectivity can be a good / useful idea, I just wish the implementation were smoother -- and that I wasn't consequently ripping my hair out over the subject :)
: : I am surprised though that while everybody's using the web to search existing databases, it seems that nobody's really bothering to use the technology the other way around, to add data to a database....
: : Tricia
PostgreSQL -what's their web site address?
:
: Not true, actually - Oracle's Designer/2000 application suite offers
: a way to completely create database applications that will run in a browser.
: You can add/modify/delete data just as if you were running it as a typical
: Win95/NT application. Downsides - you must use Oracle's Web
: Application Server with their Java Cartridge tecnology, which is only available
: for Windows NT and solaris.
: an other option (much cheaper) is to go with PostgreSQL, a free
: RDBMS from Berkley. It is really robust and quite powerful, offering nearly the
: functionality as a more expensive solution from, say, Oracle or Sybase. Integrate
: this with a JDBC driver (source code included with postgres) and you have a fast,
: easy to implement solution.
