This is easy to do with Oracle. My office is going to make a very
similar app. We're going to use Oracle's SQL Forms to make the
screens, then port them to the Web using Oracle's Web tools.
The Context engine in Oracle can do quick text searches. By staying
with Oracle tools, we can have our DBA and Forms programmers do
much of the work!
This method leaves Delphi out of the picture :-(
But, it's SIMPLE and EASY.
