Hello list helpers, I'm working at a research institute and I've been asked to develop a way of using R as a scripting and analysis tool which takes information from users via web forms, perform a query to an Oracle Database running on a Linux server and finally return formatted reports to the user via web. I'm sort of a newbie in web forms and web services so i've been reading about ROracle, RWeb and CGIwithR with little or no results so far, I need to know which is the easiest way of merging R with web services to solve my problem and if theres a manual or book that explains this kind of R use. Could someone enlighten me? Many thanks in advance and sorry for the typos... -- Marcos Antonio Carvajalino Fernández Ingeniero Ambiental y Sanitario Santa Marta, Colombia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I refer to several resources on the subject here: http://www.r-statistics.com/category/r-and-the-web/ But the first I would suggest you to look at is this: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/02/web-development-with-r-an-hd-video-tutorial-of-jeroen-ooms-talk/ It won't answer all of yor questions but would help you start out.

Hi Marcos, If your server is running Apache I highly recommend looking at RApache (see http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/rapache/). This will not help with the database connection part though.
