Oracle PL/SQL Server Pages
PL/SQL Server Pages (PSP) are server-side scripts that include dynamic content, including the results of SQL queries, inside Web pages. You can author the Web pages in an HTML authoring tool and insert blocks of PL/SQL code.
Deploying content through PL/SQL Server Pages has the following advantages:
For developers familiar with PL/SQL, the server pages are the easiest way to create professional Web pages that included database-generated content. You can develop Web pages as normal and then embed PL/SQL code in the HTML.
PSP can be more convenient than using the HTP and HTF packages to write out HTML content line by line.
Because processing is performed on the database server, the client browser receives a plain HTML page with no special script tags. You can support all browsers and browser levels equally.
Network traffic is efficient because use of PSP minimizes the number of database round-trips.
You can write content quickly and follow a rapid, iterative development process. You maintain central control of the software, with only a Web browser required on the client machine.
