The Web provides a convenient integration environment for "mature" technologies migrating from existing computer environments.
|
|
Relational databases are a good example where it is now 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
|
|
Systems such as Cold Fusion provide convenient high level interfaces to Web-linked databases
|
|
Several excellent Java to Database packages becoming available with the JDBC standard based on ODBC -- more powerful but lower level than systems like Cold Fusion
|
CORBA will have good Web and Java Interfaces and we will discuss integration of Web CORBA and database technologies
-
CORBA views a database as a managed persistent object
