One last thing : JDBC may take you a shorter time to learn than the 2 weeks I put down in an earlier email. On reflection, that is probably padding too much, but I recommend that you do not underestimate the time taken to get the JDBC connection going, especially for Oracle. I've had problems with 8.1.5 before and had to resort to DataDirect drivers. 8.1.7 seems to be ok, though.

overall, using JDBC with Tomcat is the easy part. Deciding how to implement your tables and application logic will be the hard part. If your data is not normalized and doesn't need to be, then the first thing you should look into is statistical analysis of text. there are several well tested algo's for doing this type of processing. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the algo's. I worked on integrating personalization applications a couple years back relating to filtering news.
If your needs aren't too complex, it shouldn't take too long to implement some form of statistical analysis. Using file system to store the entire text doesn't necessarily mean you can't store the text summaries in Oracle. Google for related topics and you should be to find some examples. If you're needs are more complex, you'll need to look into grammar based parsing, which is a slow process. Most of the comparison between grammar based and statistical parsing has shown that statistical is more effective. hope that helps.

so if i stay with a small thing like SQLPLUS, the JDBC connectivity wont be a tough thing to do as compared to the ORACLE implementation. right ? because in last few days after consulting with some people in-house here, i am thinking over the OPTION of SQLPLUS.
do commment on this !
