warning :-) asp newbie questions
#1
Hi
I want to be able to show live data in a browser. At the moment, I just want to show data from 3 related tables on our oracle database. I know what data I require, I know what the sql statement will be to get at this data.
The browser will be IE6.
The data is held on a pc running unix (solaris), Oracle 8i.
The client pc's are running win95/98/2000/xp.
I assume that my own pc will act as the server, I'm running win2000 professional. Will I need 'IIS' installed?
My 1st thoughts are to learn some asp, and use vbscript to get the data from the Oracle database. I'll have the asp webpages on my pc, and then create a share to my computer so that any pc on our network can connect to mine in order to access the pages. So my pc is acting as a server, the interface to the oracle database.
Note I have never done this before. I have some basic knowledge of html, vb (used RDO etc), setting up ODBC, HTML, databases, sql etc.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can give me a quick opinion on what I've described above.
Will this work?
Is there a better way to go about it?
Any comments welcome (even bad ones )

You'll need a webserver if you want people to use a web browser to view the data. IIS probably, Apache::ASP isn't a substitute. Then you just code I can't halpe you any more than that, don't know ASP or IIS.
