This scenario explains how the Internet Database Connector is used to create a core-business application that streamlines Terra Flora's internal processes and eventually will accommodate an expanded customer base.
The flower arrangement order desk is the heart of Terra Flora's business. By using Internet Information Server to post to and query the retail order Oracle database, anyone in the company can use the data. This scenario establishes an internal ordering system that uses Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP). The internal system will serve as a pilot for an Internet ordering system, which will expand Terra Flora's market to the entire world.
This section assumes that an Oracle database already exists.
