Using database software to create HTML documents

[Robert H. Terry]

Actually, we are scheduled to do same after our Oracle product release in 
Dec. of this year.  The tool will store index information (metadata) 
about holdings (i.e. book, papers, etc.) in the database and generate 
on-the-fly real-time HTML pages. All of which can be searched and browsed 
by users in a variety of manners.  The architectual premise is to provide 
a DBMS layer to all WWW HTML based browsers (for Administrators and 
Users).   Our main concern are the loss in performance and functionality 
consequently moving to PC based environment for the tool.  Oracle on Sun, 
HPs, AIX, etc. has a lot to offer for the Server side.  I would 
appreciate other's opinions on this case.

Thanks, Bob Terry
