The emerging use of object-relational databases with Web technologies has only recently begun. This chapter discusses a practical realization of an application using this technology. The aim is to show readers how to construct a full application from a design using object-oriented features up to the implementation. In this chapter, we highlight important or difficult stages with an emphasis on the mapping of object design into Oracle 8i and the use of stored procedures with the extended
