To find out what customers want, ask them. Phone calls at dinner time? No. To find out what members want from Oracle products, OTN posts online surveys and studies the responses. This set of documents describes the servlet-based Survey Application and discusses how OTN uses it to create dynamic, interactive HTML forms, deploy them to the Internet, and store responses in an Oracle database. It also describes how OTN uses Oracle Discoverer to analyze the results.
