If you are interested in a relational (but not SQL) database that interfaces easily to a Web server, you might want to check out the "/rdb" database from Revolutionary Software. /rdb essentially consists of a set of commands that extend the Unix operating system to implement a relational database management system for which the shell is the DDL, DML, and "fourth generation language" combined, so queries, updates, etc., are seamlessly integrated with Unix commands via pipes, etc. It is almost trivial to write the Web interface, using shell programs. I am not with the company, just a user.
