How to architect web and mobile social application with API

3
I am looking to have a full client server architecture built for a innovative new service that will require a number of large databases to be built, an iphone app and an interactive website with a social aspect too where users can leave entries and entries can be updated by other users and commented on etc..

It will involve API link in in the numbers of 100's of thousands of entries and needs to be very quick to run on iPhone and be useful.

I am meeting with a guy who has been using Java and Oracle for a number of years and I was wondering if he would have the required skills to do this if he is good in these languages??

I understand iphone app has to be in objective C but basically my question is, is it possible to build the rest of the system using Java and oracle?

Thanks in advance

No. You additionally need knowledge (and install) about
- Javascript, CSS
- HTML,
- Webserver (Apache Tomcat)
- a Portal (JBoss, Liferay, ..) for personalization/authentication of users and content management, if you don't want to reinvent the wheel.
- Network Security

License for Oracle-Database would be very costly!. But freeware-database like MySql etc. have enough power to build what you need.

Try to get a "guy" who already has done that so he knows and understands the implications! Get an expert even if he is more expensive.
What you want to do is really not trivial stuff. Good luck!

It sounds to me like you need more than one guy to implement this system. To me, it sounds like you're looking for at least 3 people:
  • a database developer to design your databases
  • a web service developer who can develop services required to run your application (Java would work for this)
  • and a developer who can the iPhone application that calls the web services
