Define database at Logon

Question

At the opening of my main form an On_Logon trigger/procedure is
set off.
The purpose of this trigger is to perform an OCI (or whatever
works) call via a cursor or command that will connect my
Developer application with the database I want to process from.
I have already tried the following methods. The first compiled
but errored out in the application. The other two would not
compile.I am playing with OCI now.
1. BLOCK_NAME := ('SET(CURRENT_SCHEMA = NAME)');
2. connection_id := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CONNECTION('alter session set
current_schema = DATABASE');
cursor_number := EXEC_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR(CONNECTION_ID);
EXEC_SQL.PARSE(connection_id, cursor_number, sql_string);
3. v_cursor := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR ;
If anyone has been able to perform this type of connection via
OCI or either of the previous 3 methods I listed above, pls
share!

Hi Marion,
MobileMe does not support server side scripting or databases by users.
I have a work around to show the HTML published database with an iFrame if your database app. has instant web publishing capabilities. But that may not be what you are looking for as there will be a 'log-in to database(server)' screen first.
If you are looking for a database driven content management platform then you may want to check out [Drupal|http://drupal.org>, it works with MySQL databases and PHP.
On their website you can find plenty of hosts for your Drupal website.
With PHP or MySQL over ODBC you can even connect to your database.
Check out [DynDNS|http://www.dyndns.com> if you want to use your own Mac as a web/database server behind a consumer router with variable IP nr.
Kind regards,
