Hello!
Curiosity:
What kinds of database systems are used (i.e. Essbase, Sybase, dBase,
Access, Approach, AS400, whatever..), are typically used by companies,
or recommended by consultants, when the source of the data would be
supplied by internet users? (Where the user would visit a site,
fill out a form, etc.)
I know that Access can output to the web, and that data mining
applications, such as Cognos Impromptu, can output data from a
database to a website, I find myself curious to know what/how
things are done the other way 'round!
Websites/Newsgroups, any sources known by the reader to which
I could be pointed, would be greatly appreciated!
Richard

| (...) I'm using MySQL. It has it's limitations (I bet Larry will expand on that) but it's open-source and free (in most cases). For a comercial project I would use Oracle (which is about as far from free as you can get with databases). KL (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
