If I use cfhttp tag in coldfusion to output data from an oracle database, can I maintain a persistent connection so that when the database values change in oracle, the page is updated without refreshing the page?<br />

If not, is there another tag that will do this?

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
