JSON - get data from Oracle table

[marchello]

Hi all,

I hope it is correct thread...

My need is to get data from oracle table using JSON and show output at html table. I'm very new to JSON (got some experience in PL/SQL and basic html knowledge). Could someone direct me to manual or give me simple example?

This is most probably a question related to the server side language of your choice (PHP??) and not Javascript ... topic should be moved

devnull69, I'm not talking about php.

As far as I can understand now, JSON is a way to format data, not a way to fetch data... I'm very new to JSON.

And yes, topic should be closed or removed. Sorry for disturbing.

If your starting point is a database and your end point is an HTML table then there is no need to go through a third format for the data in between for just a server side application.

The only reason for deciding to use JSON as an intermediate format is if you are going to set up so that the table can be dynamically updated from the database without reloading the page.

That would require a server side script that reads the data from the database and generates JSON instead of a web page AND it would require JavaScript that calls the server side script and then loads what it receives as JSON into the HTML table either in place of what is already there or as extra rows.

For a simple example of the JavaScript needed to retrieve JSON from the server and soncert it into a format that JavaScript can then process further see http://javascriptexample.net/ajax04.php
