Hello My Name Zakria Ben-salem Director of development RealSoft Inc. We do
development in C and C++ and Java. Recently with the new release of ORACLE8i we
were able to write store procedure in java and use the ORACLE Jserver and Oracle
implementation of EJB or (the enterprise java beans) . We believe that ORACLE
platform open more opportunities for our groups. The sever could serve 10,000
simultaneous java session and that VB could not touch that today. Every think we
write for ORACLE is portable to all the other platform supported by ORACLE. The
server java code is compiled and it 15 to 40 faster based on Oracle literature.
Enjoy more question please do not hesitate to ask.
