Hello Respected DBAs,

I want to create my site which will be having oracle information +
+ my personal page + oracle related forums. But I do not know
from where I should start or to read documentation.

I just search on some sites got lot of ideas ... like to use

mod_plsql or HTML DB or PSP ..

I do not know about these technologies that for what purpose they
are there.

As I told about my requirements.. Please suggest from where I
should start/read documentation.

I want to use database for storing maximum stuff like asktom but
with some modren look like Howard J Roger's site.

Regards,
Js

There is a number of fairly good tutorials about the APEX (Application
Express, the artist formerly known as HTMLDB) and there is also a very
good book by Michael Cunningham and Kent Crotty about HTMLDB (Rampant
Press). There is also an Oracle Press book about HTMLDB, but I haven't
yet laid my hands on it, so I don't know anything about it. APEX is a
tool which helps you do easy things the easy way. I also figured out
the way to link the latest version of PHP5 into the htlmdb web server
and use the two technologies simultaneously. Unfortunately, there is
no mixing them. I didn't yet find the way to access HTMLDB entities from
PHP5.

I haven't seen it for quite a while as nothing seems to change, and
the useful stuff disappeared.

Apex produces HTML, so you can pretty much recreate the look and feel of any
website using Apex if you wanted to.

I can highly recommend using Apex for rapid web development that requires a
database backend.

John.

There's a sourceforge alpha:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=162870 I haven't
personally looked at it.

Since you've been to Howard's site, you know what he uses, and that it
isn't Oracle, and even _he_ has gotten bit by imports and upgrades.

My observation:

In APEX terminology, the web site seems to be a page with a Tab
component, 3 columns in the 1st region, several other regions. Should
be fairly easy to construct the general structure using APEX. Cosmetic
and functional features for each link are a different matter.
