yes, it will be very useful in creating some simple web interfaces, and you an add a fair degree of sophistication once you get used to the product

current install is somewhere on otn.oracle.com -- search for 'HTML DB'

HTML DB works for 9iR2 and up

it is not an extension of iSQLPlus -- it is a much different animal with a very different way of managing security
see my 12/23 post in c.d.o.tools under 'Oracle XE - GUI end-user reporting tool?' for a discussion on how HTML DB accesses database schemas the focus of that thread is on end-user reporting, but the information should give you an idea on how HTML DB security works (its quite different from other tools, as it goes through a couple of back doors)
