Hi Thomas,

You can't link WML directly to a SQL database. WML is intended
to do simple layout.

Most people use a server-side scripting language such as ASP,
JSP, PERL or Java servlets to make connections to databases,
run queries and then dynamically write out the results as WML.

If you're not familiar with any of these technologies then you'll
have to do a bit of reading but don't worry, it isn't all that difficult.

Mario.

I have built a WAP application that produces dynamic WML from an Oracle 7.3.4 database and PL/SQL cartridges. Basically, I write stored procedures which use cursors to do sql queries and then use Oracle built-in packages to create the WML tags.

It works fine through the Nokia dev kit, although I have not gone live with it yet due to internal hosting problems.
