Want to build solid information system solely on PL/SQL and javascript easily,
no rely on any other programming language or technical stack? develop with NORADLE.
What's NORADLE?
=================
The word NORADLE is combination of node.js and oracle,
It aims at
1. write http servlet in PL/SQL with extremely concise code
2. with node.js as http gateway, give full http protocol support for oracle environment
3. node.js accessibility to oracle, give node.js ecosystem a real thustworthy db backend
take a first glance at pl/sql servlet code
==========================================
### bind data into html
```plsql
procedure bind_data is
cursor c_packages is
select *
from user_objects a
where a.object_type = 'PACKAGE'
and rownum <= 5
order by a.object_name asc;
begin
b.l('');
o.t('');
o.t('');
o.t('
');
o.t('
', 'bind sql data to table example');
o.t('
', o.t('
', m.w('
@
', 'package name,created')));
o.t('
');
for i in c_packages loop
o.t('
');
o.t('
', i.object_name);
o.t('
', t.d2s(i.created));
o.t('
');
end loop;
o.t(' ');
o.t('
');
o.t('');
o.t('');
end;
```
### use json data service to populate chart
```plsql
create or replace package body chart_b is
procedure common_preface(default_type varchar2) is
v_chart_type varchar2(30) := r.getc('chart_type', default_type);
begin
src_b.header;
o.u('', '[animate.css]');
o.u('');
end;
end chart_b;
```
What NORADLE provide?
=====================
* NORADLE support full dynamic(data driving) web development(whether for html page service or json data service),
but more concise than PHP, J2EE, ...
* NORADLE NDBC make node ecosystem embracing oracle, expand node's realm to serious enterprise information systems
* NORADLE call out feature extend oracle PL/SQL to access external service/resource, break restrictions
Core thinking
==============
* use pl/sql stored procedure to implement application/business logic
- servlet code that access data should be as close as the data, avoid complexity and develop-time and runtime overhead
- all SQL should be in PL/SQL stored procedure, no string concat, no network transfer
- no triditional templating, print html/json with concise API, just use pl/sql, introduce no excessive templating language
- give all function that a triditional servlet tech can provide, but be more concise and easier to master
- be aware of that middle layer JAVA/PHP/.NET/PYTHON/RUBY... is superfluous, except adding comlexity
- enjoy the good of oracle, advanced SQL, availility, stability, performance, scalability, tunable...
* node.js can access oracle, and vice versa, they can aid each other
- node.js give oracle a http servlet container environment
- pl/sql can call out by node.js, extending oracle
- by node.js, oracle became a full servlet container, integrate code and data seamlessly
- by connectivity to oracle, node.js ecosysetm will extend to the area of enterprise information system
