I'm designing a database for an Electronic Store, which will hold information on all kinds of products that the Physical store has or has to order.

My question is not related to anything specific about the database, but on how to get relevant values off the Database and get it online ... as a webpage?

Any detailed explanations or suggestions (with online links) would help.

Thanx!

I'm trying JDBC (ODBC bridge driver) to interface 'java codes' onto the existing Database (Oracle 9i).

But, as a beginner in this field, I'm confused as hell on how to pull up all that s.hit online!

ps/ Pretender, any clues?

well... there are couple of ways to link webpages with databases...

you will need to have either PHP pages.. same like sabla.. or ASP pages... there are also hmm perl and CGI as far as i can remember...

wait..you said java code?...then you will probably need to know java programming java beans.. applets..hmm..roughly thinking...will see what i can find out more about this..and let you know..

Hey SLP, how you doin, first of all I have to ask if it's essential you use a Java-based frontend?

If not, and the Oracle 9i DB is running fine ... why not use .NET? I've seen groups of students in very small groups create .NET pages within a space of 2-3 months for enterprise level use 500+ users.

I say .NET because I assume you have some VBscript or Javascript knowledge or even C familiarity ...

Could you answer a couple of questions before I tell you how to proceed:

1) In order of strength name three languages/scripts you are most comfortable with.

2) Do you have to use a Java front-end (is this project school/work you have to do in a certain way)?

3) How much time before you have deploy the final pages ... 1 month ... 2 months ... 6 months ... etc ...

One more thing if you really have to do it in a Java-frontend and you do have enough time (2-3 months) why don't you get a book similar to this:

To help you on he way ... I'm sure they'll be example code to copy and paste ...

Thanx Pretender and sorry for the late reply,

I was keen on using Java frontend because I'm solely using the programs/software that's available at School.

I was thinking of using .NET with some JavaScript earlier ... but I guess JDBC and some Java servlets programming will do, for this project I'm working on now.

Have to learn further, for more information though. Will ask you more stuff later ;)

Anytime ... and since you going down the Java road ... goodluck and that's at least one point against the Evil Empire (Microsoft)!

How good are you at Linux?

I'm on way to becoming a Linux guru ... practically, trying to get any close to it. ;)

I've been going back to Linux time and again for the last 3 years ... it's quite frustrating especially with compilation of drivers ...

Personally LinuxMandrake 9.1 is my fav distro at the moment ... Need to build a new box ... just to fool around on it.
