Foil 54 Web Technologies in a Nutshell - Databases

From Overview of Pragmatic Object Web Systems and Technologies ADMI Tutorial Duluth Minnesota -- June 3 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Relational databases are increasing in use as it is straightforward in Microsoft Access, Oracle, DB2, Informix, Sybase etc. to provide a Web Interface which can be used for data (mail, curricula material etc.) with Java/JavaScript/Forms based Interfaces
Object databases such as Illustra also interfaced to Web but "business logic and serialization like XML" separates data object model and storage object model
Systems such as Cold Fusion provide convenient high level interfaces to Web-linked databases -- use XML templates
Several excellent Java to Database packages becoming available: in particular the JDBC standard based on ODBC -- more powerful but lower level than systems like Cold Fusion
CORBA views a database as a managed persistent object
