I have used a lot of plsql that uses utl_file and then generates html output files. Of course, you can supplement or replace that with calls against htp packages ( the old oracle web based plsql interfaces ), and these days you can use application express. Or you can generate stuff with the xml based interfaces now available in plsql.

It's not hard though to just "hack out" a bunch of html output files using utl_file. That gives you an step up on the learning curve for html after you have created some things. Received on Sat Dec 23 2006 - 19:22:47 CST
