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. For more info, email to:
