XML interactivity with SQL/Oracle
Ok, I'm a Flash Designer, hardly a developer. But one of the projects I took on demands that some of the external variables in XML (what I'm used to for external variables) that Flash will be using be in reference to data on an SQL database. The client only stated "Oracle Databse".
Now, my previous experience with database connectivity only demanded a simple ASP interface for the mySQL database. Supposing I pull all-nighters and brush up on XML......can I use it to grab data from an "Oracle Database"???????? |

The short answer is no.
XML is a metalanguage, i.e. it is a language for describing documents. |

Little bit longer answer:
I don't think there's any reason the XML you use needs to be static. Since it sounds like you're already somewhat familiar with using ASP to connect to a database you should be able to use ASP to dynamically generate the XML input for you Flash interface. |

Awesome Bricker, thats what was going through my head, and in this case the fact that it went through your head too helps a lot. Thanks!
