I played with it on a test machine and can see it being useful however =
its not implemented anywhere in production.  We host all our servers in =
a computing center and have to deal with the centers security managers. =
I don't know a great deal about web technology and security but they =
have db servers and web servers in different domains with a firewall =
between them.  If I understand the technology correctly isqlplus runs a =
little web server that allows web access to the host db.  I'm sure there =
must be some way to restrict access to authorized users. In order to get =
this thing working I'm sure we'd have to ask to have some ports open and =
I'm pretty sure they won't be receptive to having web access to the db =
domain by this means.=20

We went round and round with the center when trying to troubleshoot =
application timing issues.  We wanted to move, temporarilly, the web and =
application servers onto the db subnet.  The answer was more or less, =
"Hell, no."   I don't understand the architecture issues well enough to =
make a case for it and everyone seems comfortable enough with =
client/server sqlplus here so there isn't a lot of impetus for change.=20
