Hi ,
This requirement suggests the use of an applet that is true, if I do it
using APPLETS i have to have another database server to access my SQL
server/ORACLE coz am using type 3 driver.(SQL server or ORACLE server is not
in my machine).This is ,coz of APPLET security.I cant have type 4 driver since
database server is not running in my machine.
Not only that They are deadly slow.
This is the reason why I want to do it using SERVLETS.
