Application that acts as a "communicator" between database and external application
Hi Guys,
I have a question, i wish to design an application that acts as a "glue" between database and a window based application
The main reason why i want to do this is that the database im using is oracle and we cant afford to have oracle client installed on each and every machine to support the window based application.
So one possible solution is to have the oracle client installed on a machine that interects between the external application and database
This means sending the relevant HTTP requests and and then, we get the response back maybe in some format like XML.
So meaning i might just send some address from my external window based application like
"http://20.10.20.10/dbnames/names.asp?action=get_name=myname,yourname"
Then this middle application will process this http request and send back the results in certain format through webpage (In XML Format maybe)
appreciate if someone has some good reference/guidance or any example/tutorial which can help me to understand furhter on this.
Thanks..
