[WEB4LIB] database solutions

[Lee Jaffe]

Our experience seems similar.  We've run a fairly large stable of
Web services via FilemakerPro via Lasso.  It seems to be an easy
way to get started in this area.  Though it remains useful for our
current projects and we still use it to build short term projects
such as surveys, we have been migrating to Zope/PostgreSQL for
the last 1-2 years for newer and larger services.  See
