Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> apache and mod_plsql (was RE: Plain old database)
One ought to be able to. We haven't tried, since we've been using mod_owa www.sharemation.com/~dmcmahon/modowa.htm , for historical reasons. Since it is working well for us we haven't tried to replace it with mod_plsql.
One reason we went with our own Apache build was because Oracle's version of Apache was very old. I haven't looked into it recently: maybe they've gotten better.
mod_owa (and mod_plsql) opens a database connection, sets up the bind variables and environment variables, and invokes the plsql package in a begin/end block. It then collects the output from htp.p etc calls and presents the output back to the browser. This is an over-simplified overview.

Hi Steve
mod_plsql is pretty much a module that allows you to setup communication between Oracle db and Apache process in a cgi-like way. I have to admin that I don't know exactly, if the pl/sql engine runs embedded within apache like mod_perl for instance. But I don't think so, since I guess it has to run within the context of the database process. By the way, does anybody know if it's possible to compile a "real" apache form apache.org with mod_plsql and dismiss the one oracle delivers ?
