[WEB4LIB] Web Databases and Application Servers (Was: Microsoft Access)

[O-Tech International, Ltd.]

Chris,
Again, thanks for posting these web database links.
I will delve into Zope, it is all new to me.
I did not follow-up on  http://www.zope.org  until you reposted it here on Web4Lib.
Awesome information.
