Enterprise with Oracle7: Who does what and how?

I'm trying to quickly get my head around this Liveconnect thing and seem to be running in circles trying to get straight answers ... so who better to ask than the experts ;) ...

I have a Netscape Enterprise Server with Oracle7 (both on Solaris) ... and that is all I have. I want to create fairly complex web pages out of a database of text and images, ie, a query must come back with all the matching elements arranged nicely on a single screen.

1. is it better to have the data server generate the HTML output using stored procedures? Are there tools available for designing these procedures? Do I need Developer/2000 for this and if so, can I use this with the Enterprise server, or do I also then need to buy Webserver3?
2. should the images be in the database or on the file-system?
3. I'm worried about large server-side Javascript being prone to transmission-error problems (true, client-side JS has to deal with the precarious internet connection, but aren't there similar problems with large JS scripts on the server?) Would it be better to talk to the Oracle server through JDBC? (more portable, but then, NS does not officially support JDBC!)

I'm curious to know how others are approaching this problem, but can't find any definitive resources on the web (Are there any non-partisan NS/E+Oracle resources on the Internet?). In the interest of future programmers who will follow us, what better place to leave your wisdom than in the USENET archives ;)
