RE: Plain Old Database

Thanks for all the replies. The reason I asked is because dbca calls some of these items "Standard Database Features."

Steve - I think that the mod plsql is the module that let's you generate html using PL/SQL (htp and htf pl/sql packages).

I know mod perl and mod ssl but what's mod plsql? How is it used and why? Anyone using it?

The Apache shipped with the Oracle database has mod perl, mod ssl, and mod plsql installed into it, but is AFAIK a stock Apache distribution otherwise. It includes stuff for JSP's as well. You can't put an i in your name if you don't have web stuff and as we all know Oracle is unbreakable, so security isn't an issue.

I'm with you. Oracle behaves too much like Microsoft trying to get you install stuff whether you need it or not. I've come across a lot databases where the installer person installed stuff probably thinking, "I'm not sure if we'll need it or not so I'll just install it anyway." I don't use the dbca stuff but I did the same as you at a shop that used InterMedia. I then modified the generated scripts and only installed what was really needed.

I wonder how many databases are vulnerable to hacking because Apache was installed from the Oracle CD's? Is there anything different about the Apache shipped by Oracle vs. what's publically available? Why does Oracle put Apache stuff on the CD's?

Curious too,
Steve Orr
