Mashing Google Maps With Oracle Database

Overview

As one may know, Oracle has had the ability to generate XML on the fly from the database for a number of years. In addition to generating XML from an Oracle database, it is relatively trivial to publish the generated data XML on the Web using a variety of languages such as with Java Servlets and JDBC. What one possibly haven't seen yet is how easy it is to take dynamically generated XML data from an Oracle database and mash it together with Web page using the Google Maps API. For example, if one has an Oracle database filled with interesting geo-related data, one can very easily integrate this data with Google's JavaScript Maps API.
