Web-to-database
connecting technologies
To
build a bridge between web and enterprise database, a number of alternative
technologies and architectures have been available. These include:
CGI (Common Gateway Interface):
CGI is a Web standard for accessing external programs,
to integrate databases with Web servers. CGI Dynamically generates HTML
documents from back-end databases. CGI programs can be written in any scripting
language (interpreted) or programming language available to be executed on a
web server, including C, C++, Fortran, PERL, TCL, VB and others.
