[GLLUG] RE: General programming question

Here is my undervalued opinion. (Still worth more than my stock 
options.... :( )

Go with Postgresql. If you dont need the locking yet, you will soon 
enough. And the replication issues you mentioned lean even more in favor 
of Postgres.

PHP is good. I like it. Great for quick and dirty. Not bad for moderate 
size. But JSP and servlets beats it for real application development. 
Look at Tomcat for the JSP and servlet side. Look into Struts for help 
on the framework. I have just completed a reporting package for a client 
using them and it rocks. Send me an email if you want more details or 
need more information.
