Oracle Internet Application Server provides a single integrated packaged solution

of for middleware infrastructure including Oracle Containers for J2EE, Oracle Web
Cache, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Oracle Portal and Oracle
Discoverer.

Also included in this infrastructure are integrated security, management and

integration technologies.

Oracle Internet Application Server is a member of the Oracle Fusion Middleware

family of products, which bring greater agility, better decision-making

and reduced cost and risk to diverse IT environments today

Oracle offers a complete and integrated set of application development and business
intelligence tools that supports any development approach, any technology platform,
and any operating system. Developers are using these tools to build sophisticated
applications that deliver greater usability, visibility and manageability of the
data that drives the solution. From Java, to SQL, and all the most popular
frameworks, languages and platforms that are driving modern cloud applications and
architecture, use this index to quickly locate the information you need.

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a free graphical tool that enhances
productivity and simplifies data modeling tasks. Using Oracle SQL Developer Data
Modeler users can create, browse and edit, logical, relational, physical, multi-
dimensional, and data type models. The Data Modeler provides forward and reverse
engineering capabilities and supports collaborative development through integrated
source code control. The Data Modeler can be used in both traditional and in Cloud
environments.

Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) makes it easy to develop modern REST interfaces
for relational data in the Oracle Database and the Oracle Database 18c JSON
Document Store. A mid-tier Java application, ORDS maps HTTP(S) verbs (GET, POST,
PUT, DELETE, etc.) to database transactions and returns any results formatted using
JSON.

Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is the comprehensive, high performance, native C

language interface to Oracle Database for custom or packaged applications.

OCI is highly reliable. Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus, Real Application Testing
(RAT), SQL*Loader, and Data-Pump all use OCI. OCI provides the foundation on which
other language-specific interfaces such as Oracle JDBC-OCI, Oracle Data Provider
for Net (ODP.Net), Oracle Precompilers, Oracle ODBC, and Oracle C++ Call Interface
(OCCI) drivers are built. OCI is also used by leading scripting language drivers
such as node-oracledb for Node.js, PHP OCI8, ruby-oci8, Perl DBD::Oracle, Python
cx_Oracle, and the statistical programming language R's ROracle driver.

A broad range of customers including Fortune 500 customers and ISVs develop high
performance applications directly in OCI.

OCI libraries are included by default in Oracle Database 18c. OCI is also in the
lightweight Oracle Instant Client, allowing ISVs and customers to quickly install
and deploy OCI applications and tools. See the Oracle Instant Client page for more
information.

Oracle Database Programming Interface for C (ODPI-C) is a new open source library
of C code that simplifies the use of common OCI features for Oracle Database
drivers and user applications.

ODPI-C is a thin layer on top of OCI and requires Oracle client libraries.

ODPI-C's goal is to expose common OCI functionality in a readily consumable way to

the C or C++ developer. OCI's API is extremely flexible and is highly efficient,
giving very fine-grained control to the developer for a wide range of use cases.
ODPI-C is also flexible but is aimed primarily at language driver creators. These
creators are programming within the confines of a scripting language's type system
and semantics. The languages often expose simplified data access to users through
cross-platform, 'common-denominator' APIs. Therefore ODPI-C provides easy to use
functionality for common data access, while still providing the power of Oracle
Database.

Of course ODPI-C isn't just restricted to drivers. ODPI-C is licensed under the
Apache 2.0 and/or the Oracle UPL licenses, so the code can be resused in your own
projects.

Based on the Standard C++ and object-oriented paradigm, OCCI is designed for
improved productivity and quality in developing Oracle Database applications.

OCCI is being successfully used for client-server, middle-tier, and complex object
modeling applications.

OCCI is the natural interface for accessing Oracle object-relational features like
object types, inheritance, relationships and collections. Objects are represented
as C++ class instances in OCCI leading to seamless integration between the
application and database. The navigational access method with the client object
cache provides complete database transparency.
