W3-Oracle gateway implementation
Oracle server
This was written during August and
September 1992 by Arthur Secret .
See also: Arthur's notes., W3-RDB
gateways in general.
The server takes a W3 query as an
SQL SELECT staement and returns the
results formatted as a table in plain
text.
This server is obviously a good sarting
point for a gateway to provide a
hypertext view of an oracle database.
Sources
The normal daemon files from the
basic W3 daemon and library are used,
and also:
- Makefile
- The clue to how it is built,
with lists of W3 and oracle libraries.
(Not all the Oracle libraries mentioned
are necessarily used).
- HTOracle.pc
- Is put through the Oracle
preprocessor Pro*C. This is the guts
of the gateway.
- HTOracle.h
- Header file for HTOracle.pc
- HTRetrieve.c
- This is modified from
the regular version to call HTOracle.pc
- y.pc
- This is a test program which
runs on the terminal
