SQLWord "ready for the Web"

These days applications are more and more developed for the Intranet & Internet. The market asks for a SQLWord component that runs on the Web. For this reason we changed the earlier SQLWord verson 2.1from a client-server application to a server-side Oracle component to be "ready for the Web".

SQLWord follows the syntax of Oracle PL/SQL Server Pages <% tag %> declarations. Microsoft Word templates with those <% tag %> declarations are stored by the SQLWord Developer application into your Oracle database, compiled as PL/SQL-procedures. We also moved the "data-merging-engine" to the Oracle database, now implemented as a package.

By calling the PL/SQL-procedure that you created from your Microsoft Word template, the Oracle HTTP webserver sends the output document to the webbrowser where the received document is opened with the Microsoft Word editor.

With this new concept SQLWord can be implemented in several "web-enabled" applications, such as Oracle Forms (implementation examples are included). SQLWord runs on any platform where the Oracle database runs.

Requirements

• Oracle 9i / Oracle 10g / Oracle 11g.
• Oracle HTTP webserver.
• Oracle client-installation on the windows PC’s where SQLWord Developer or SQLWord Runtime is installed.
