I'm attending some Oracle thoery course and I was given this question:
A student logs into the database via the web and requested for a copy of his examination results. Explain in detail, how the request is transferred to the server for processing and the delivery of the results to the user. [9 marks]
I have been searching high and low in the web for the solution but to no avail. Please anyone can help me? I will be much appreciated.
I won't do your assignment for you, but here's some hints to get you looking and learning:
Check out ASP or ASP.NET or PERL or PHP (to present the data as a web page) check out ADO, ADO.NET (possible data connection technologies used by ASP/.net) Check out ODBC, ADODB for methods of getting data out of a db into ADO etc Check out SQL SELECT statements for methods of getting data out of a DB
good luck, there's enough hints there for the full 9 marks
