9.1. Oracle PL/SQL Gateway Architecture
The Oracle PL/SQL Gateway provides the capability to execute PL/SQL procedures in an Oracle database server via the web. It provides a gateway, a seamless path from the Internet, into a backend Oracle database server over the web. When a user connects with a web browser to a web server running the Oracle PL/SQL Gateway, the Gateway simply proxies the user's request to the database server where it is executed. The Oracle PL/SQL Gateway is built into Oracle Portal, Oracle Application, Server, and the Oracle HTTP Server, as shown in Figure 9-1.
