Ok, does anybody have links about querying an oracle db via javascript?
Google isn't being wonderful to me
There must be some libraries to do this? |

You shouldn't query an oracle db via javascript
It's a catastrophically bad idea. |

| In that you're basically saying to Joe User "Hi there! How do you feel about running arbitrary code on my DB?" |

| I agree that if it was possible to query a DB directly using JavaScript, it would be a terrible idea |

| It looks like I'll just have to make the user click a button to run the .php function I wrote |

| But the fact is you make an ajax call, which calls a server-side script that does the db querying |
