I know some people don't like VBScript for being Microsoft-Centric, but it's very easy to get familiar with, and once you know how to create your ASP pages in VBScript, you can move on to any programming language of your choice.
First thing first: HTML tags and ASP scripts don't socialize well, and although it is not a politically correct agenda, you have to segregate them. Whenever you are writing the VBScript code for ASP, enclose the code within <% %>.
So if you want to initialize a VBScript variable, do it like this:
<%
Dim name
name = "Tutan Khamen"
%>
For instance, if you want to use the variable "name" in your HTML (ASP, actually) page, all you have to do is:
<%@Language=VBScript%>
<% Option Explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing a VBSCript</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim name
name = "Tutan Khamen"
%>
<p><%=name%>! An ancient Egyptian mummy!</p>
</body>
</html>
Another example:
<%@Language=VBScript%>
<% Option Explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing a VBSCript</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim number1, number2
number1 = 33
number2 = 44
%>
<p>The product of <%=number1%> and <%=number2%> is <%=number1 * number2%></p>
</body>
</html>
So now its amply clear that whenever you want to insert Server Side code, or a part of it, you enclose it within <% %>.
You can try making short programs and test run the page.

We often have to view MySQL tables in a tabular form without the SQL query console. Sometimes you have to see what all fields are there in a MySQL table and what information they contain. The following piece of code presents to you a tabular format of your table and its contents.
<?php
$query="select * from table_name";
$result=mysql_query($query);
echo "<table border=1>";
echo "<tr>";
for($i=0;$i<mysql_num_fields($result);$i++)
{
echo "<th>";
echo mysql_field_name($result, $i);
echo "</th>";
}
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
for($j=0;$j<$i;$j++)
{
echo "<td>";
echo $row[$j];
echo "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>

Dynamic HTML or DHTML is a method of creating interactive web sites by using a combination of static markup language HTML, a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), and the presentation definition language Cascading Style Sheets and the Document Object Model.
It may be used to create applications in a web browser: for example to ease navigation, to create interactive forms or to create interactive exercises to use in e-learning applications such as WebCT. Because it can be used to dynamically move elements around the screen, DHTML can also be used as a tool for creating browser based videogames.
DHTML applications that are entirely self-contained in the browser, without server-side support such as a database, are sometimes referred to as Single Page Applications, or SPA. See Comparison of layout engines (DOM) for a detailed list of the API available in each browser to use in DHTML applications.
Competing techniques include Macromedia Flash for animation and applets.
Some disadvantages of DHTML are that it is difficult to develop and debug due to varying degrees of support among web browsers of the aforementioned technologies and that the variety of screen sizes means the end look can only be fine-tuned on a limited number of browser and screen-size combinations. Development for recent browsers, such as Internet Explorer 5.0+, Netscape 6.0+, and Opera 7.0+, is aided by a shared Document Object Model.

SOAP is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages over a computer network, normally using HTTP. SOAP forms the foundation layer of the Web services stack, providing a basic messaging framework that more abstract layers can build on. SOAP can be used to facilitate a Service-Oriented architectural pattern.
There are several different types of messaging patterns in SOAP, but by far the most common is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern, where one network node (the client) sends a request message to another node (the server), and the server immediately sends a response message to the client. Indeed, SOAP is the successor of XML RPC.
Overview
Originally designed by Dave Winer, Don Box, Bob Atkinson, and Mohsen Al-Ghosein in 1998 with backing from Microsoft (where Atkinson and Al-Ghosein worked at the time) as an object access protocol, the SOAP specification is currently maintained by the XML Protocol Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium.
Name
The name "SOAP" was originally an acronym for Simple Object Access Protocol, but the full name was dropped in Version 1.2 of the SOAP specification, because the focus of SOAP shifted from object access to object inter-operability.
Transport methods
Both SMTP and HTTP are valid application layer protocols for SOAP, but HTTP has gained wider acceptance as it works well with today's Internet infrastructure; specifically, SOAP works well with network firewalls. This is a major advantage over other distributed protocols like GIOP/IIOP or DCOM which are normally filtered by firewalls. A key issue under discussion is whether or not HTTP is the right transport given its inherent synchronous nature.
XML was chosen as the standard message format because of its widespread acceptance by major corporations and open source development efforts. Additionally, a wide variety of freely available tools significantly ease the transition to a SOAP-based implementation.
The somewhat lengthy syntax of XML can be both a benefit and a drawback. Its format is easy for humans to read, but can be complex and can have slow processing times. For example, CORBA, GIOP and DCOM use much shorter, binary message formats. On the other hand, hardware appliances are available to accelerate processing of XML messages. Binary XML (the use of the word "XML" is controversial here) is also being explored as a means for streamlining the throughput requirements of XML.
Structure of a SOAP message
A SOAP message is contained in an envelope. Within this envelope are two additional sections: the header and the body of the message. SOAP messages use XML namespaces.
The header contains relevant information about the message. For example, a header can contain the date the message is sent, or authentication information. It is not required, but, if present, must always be included at the top of the envelope.
Example SOAP messages
Here is an example of how a client might format a SOAP message requesting product information from a fictional warehouse web service. The client needs to know which product corresponds with the ID 827635:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<getProductDetails xmlns="http://warehouse.example.com/ws">
<productID>827635</productID>
</getProductDetails>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Here is how the warehouse web service might format its reply message with the requested product information:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<getProductDetailsResponse xmlns="http://warehouse.example.com/ws">
<getProductDetailsResult>
<productName>Toptimate 3-Piece Set</productName>
<productID>827635</productID>
<description>3-Piece luggage set. Black Polyester.</description>
<price>96.50</price>
<inStock>true</inStock>
</getProductDetailsResult>
</getProductDetailsResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Performance of SOAP
Because of the lengthy XML format, SOAP is considerably slower than competing middleware technologies such as CORBA. Typically, SOAP is about 10 times slower than binary network protocols such as RMI or IIOP. This may not be an issue when only small messages are sent.

Relational Database Consultants Inc. (RDC), www.relationalwizards.com, proudly announces the new release of the Encryption Wizard for Oracle, a GUI-based database encryption and security suite that automates data-at-rest encryption for Oracle databases.
"Using bitmapped indexes during the encryption process," explains RDC marketing director Don Parret, "makes encryption fast and easy to resolve in case of a database failure."
In a recent benchmark, the Encryption Wizard encrypted one million rows of Oracle data in just over 3 minutes using AES-256 Encryption and Oracle's dbms_crypto API. By creating a bitmap index initially, the Encryption Wizard marks each row encrypted, allowing for easy resolution after a database failure or lock contention error.
"Performance for the Encryption Wizard is outstanding, and it is the product I would recommend to anyone for purchase," states Oracle DBA David de Manbey who headed the University of Hartford project to encrypt Oracle databases running Banner SunGard software.
Built around an intuitive GUI interface, the Encryption Wizard is the ideal tool for security managers and database administrators who are looking for an affordable and tested transparent data encryption solution that is easy to install and won't degrade performance.
Since 2002, the Encryption Wizard has enabled Oracle customers combat data-theft and meet database encryption compliance standards such as CISP, HIPAA and PCI. Trial downloads of the Encryption Wizard for Oracle are available at: http://www.relationalwizards.com/html/oracle_encryption.html.
