Tested to work with Oracle 7.3. Using the ORALink is a much quicker than starting up Oracle Forms, and gave every client's hardware platform almost equal access to the information worldwide. ORALink was developed as CGI 1.1 compliant script which allows to use it with any CGI 1.1 compliant HTTP server. Build-in interpreter allows use of substitutions and should hopefully not limit document designer neither in SQL statements length nor in SQL sintax. Before installation It's assumed that you have appropriate knowledge of Oracle7 as well as HTML language.
