Oracle PL/SQL Programming: A Developer's Workbook

Chapter 28. PL/SQL Web Development

Beginner

Q:
28-1.	(c). HTML is most similar to a WordPerfect file because it defines the structure of a document using a relatively simple syntax composed of tags and attributes. Unlike Oracle Reports (a) or Crystal Reports (b), which are proprietary report writers, HTML is a general-purpose document format specification. ISPF is an IBM proprietary format for laying out data entry forms. A Java class file (e) is a compiled program.
Q:
28-2.	(e) (None of the above). An HTML form is very different from a form created with a client-server system because HTTP, the networking protocol beneath HTML, does not maintain a persistent connection to the server. This is in direct contrast to the protocols behind client-server systems (SQL*Net, Net8, etc.). This property (called statelessness) has a major impact on the design of HTML-based systems.
Q:
28-3.	(e) (All of the above). You can use PL/SQL in almost any web development effort, whether you are creating a user interface or not. OAS and WebDB both include architectural components and a PL/SQL toolkit you can use to develop PL/SQL web applications. Java and PL/SQL are interoperable inside the Oracle database, so you can call PL/SQL procedures from within a Java and vice versa. Oracle Forms, now completely web-enabled, uses PL/SQL as its client-side development language.
Q:
28-4.	(e) (All of the above). You can use the HTP package, included in the PL/SQL toolkit, to create almost any kind of ASCII content, whether ...
