mod_plsql
mod_plsql is an oracle module for Apache. Let's do it from A to Z.
I install HTTP server. In 10g, it is located on the companion cd and requires a separate oracle home.
I copy my tnsnames.ora in COMPANIONHOME/network/admin
Then, I configure COMPANIONHOME/Apache/modplsql/conf/dads.conf
I create my procedure
I start my Apache server
I open my browser
So easy!

Hi Laurent,
Nice simple example BUT what about security. I always advise people to disable the HTTP servers shipped with Oracle unless there is a pressing business need to use them. If they are needed then many more steps are needed to ensure that they are hardened.
Any web based service enabled on a database server is potentially another target for an attacker.

Pete, this was part of a platform migration (AIX->Solaris), where the "security" is not in the discussion today. But I prefer not to have any service except SSH running on my db server.
what? not even a database?
good point, I need a listener too!
by the way, the http can be located on a different machine than the db server
As of 10gR2, mod_plsql is part of the built-in webserver. DAD configuration is done with the dbms_epg package. So you don't even need an applicationserver anymore ;-).
The built-in webserver is part of Oracle XMLDB and is subject to that security implementation.
Hello, I have some problem with mod_plsql, I want to be able to make a Hello World application with OHS from Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 but it don't have in it's browser enterprise manager a PL/SQL, DAD, etc references...
What can I do?
Thanks!
I'm on Windows Pro with SP 2
