[dundee] Database front end - any ideas?

[Lee Hughes]

currently investigating 

ruby on rails (looks very interesting)

and python django (looks very interesting)


I can't see why we can't just use mysql, it's a lot easier for me to
develop with it, you can always scale up to oracle later.

I'll play around with it this weekend, and I'll see what results I get

failing that, back to php?  and stick a web framework on it?

so many options..!!!!!!!!!!! where to start!!!!!

any got an example code for any technologies??? , 

thanks to everyone who's replied so far!!!  and I mean everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The danger here is that depending on your domain and application there
maybe no SQL to write.... e.g. a simple blog in rails is likely not to
need much (if any) SQL.
