Note:  I've also posted this on vb.net but thought someone here may have
some insight as well...

 

I'm new to .net and I'm attempting to develop a new application using
vb.net for the client and Oracle 8i for the backend database.  In other
applications we've developed, using a three tier architecture, all calls
to the database are made from the application server.  I've been doing a
lot of reading but have been unable to determine if VB.Net can do this.
If the calls are made from the client then I'm pretty sure Oracle client
must first be installed on each machine.  Additionally, my thinking is
that the database calls should, at the least,  be coded separately from
the user interface and just called as needed (I'm guessing classes would
be used for this).  Is it possible to have these classes run on a
server, thereby eliminating the need for the Oracle client on each
machine?

 

Can anyone shed some light on this?  Oh and code samples would be even
better!

 

Thanks in advance.

Eileen
