We have an powerbuilder application which connects to our oracle database (v. 8.1.6) and does some audit work.We are thinking of replacing it with some webbased gui application. I need your opinions.Can i use Webdb or OAS or anyother Webtool. If so what steps i need to take into consideration. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of options open to you, depending on the complexity of the UI in your applications, and bandwidth that your users have available.
If you want an HTML-based UI, and your application is fairly simple, you can use WebDB. If you want an HTML-based UI, but your application is more complex, you can use the Oracle PL/SQL Cartridge.
If you want a very rich and functional UI, you can use Oracle Developer and Developer Server.
I've but these in order of their complexity to learn and implement. But they all have one thing in common - the all use Oracle PL/SQL.

Powerbuilder 7 has some HTML web components. It may be possible to reuse some of your code and or datawindows.
WebDB has limitations that I found I could not resolve, except by coding Oracle PL/SQL procedures to output HTML. The layout of forms and reports was created by saving Powerbuilder DW rows as HTML table. Then convert that HTML to Oracle HTP calls using WebAlchemy. I then put the DW select, with the converted htp code, into a procedure. Forms can be done as well. Arguments can be added as needed.
