Hey guys, I am trying to rewrite an application with an Active Server Pages front-end that calls Oracle WebDB v2.2 reports. The data is all stored in an Oracle 9i database. What are some of the benefits and drawbacks of redesigning the application using an ASP .NET or PL/SQL
implementation. The redesigned application should still retrieve the data from the Oracle 9i database. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

When it comes to database development PL/SQL has the advantage since it is very flexible with Oracle and it seperates the business logic from the interface. But it lacks presentation in a nice way.

ASP.NET on the other hand can be developed to display data in very nice way. Performance wise PL/SQL would be better since it directly runs in the database server.

If the presentation of the report is not an issue then go for PL/SQL, or else you can go for ASP.NET

But remember to eveluate your skill level also on both and decide on one.
