My work now needs to share live data with the companies clients. Its simple stuff - based around one table with a few for aux info - and ive been using Zoho Creator DB but this isnt as solid as we would like...
Whats the best path for me to create these web databases?
Should i learn web page / ASP programming or is it easier/ better to learn the Oracle APEX platform (Express Edition)?
Arguments i already have for ASP...
1. Ive extensive Access experience
2. Ive used VBA quite a bit
3. I would be able to use a standard ISP host package as i read mines come with ASP and access database support
Against
1. I "know" but am inexperienced in HTML
2. Id have to learn ASP from scratch, i dont have a lot of DAO/ADO experience
3. Ive only used vbscript on WSH before
Arguments for APEX
1. Logged onto apex.oracle.com and it looks great - what i wish zoho was - easy wizards and able to get down + dirty with SQL
2. Seems to be good widgets for UI available
Against
1. Only heard of it yesterday!
2. No PL/SQL experience (ive got T-SQL experience)
3. Will i need to code client scripts, can i use vbscript?
4. Id have to set it up on my own server or a VPS, ive no HTTP server experience
5. Are the client web pages solid and reliable?
What route do you think is best for me?????
Regards
Gary
