Hi friends,

me what tools should i used to integrate into oracle. Does oracle
have this functional specs.

you need a barcode reader, a database wont do that

I know dear...i already have one....how do i capture the info for the
reader and insert it into the database.

Hi

Presuming your devlopment environment is Java

you can store your bar code as a string in the database or varchar in db speak

wow!!! again thanks dear...what a great sample to copy....do u have
sample apps using APEX? Coz I am developing the system in html...well I know its too much to ask dear ... can html be able
to read bar codes?

[davey23uk]

html is a markup language, it doesnt actually do anything, dont you have any software with your barcode reader than can write to a database?

Hi

I dont know what is apex.

I also know of barbecue java library that can produce barcodes if thats what you are looking for in svg format for the web.which you can embed in HTML page

But on the server side you need to use java or ASP to read barcode and fire a database query.
HTML would not serve the purpose.

sorry i havent heard of apex language.Can apex call servlets or java ?
