Matt, I feel your pain. It's probably not best on the Django forum to say this but:
1. Any modern framework is fine (Cake/PHP, Django/Python, Merb/Ruby, etc...) 2. Use a framework of some sort (don't just roll with 'Java' without some sort of web-specific framework for your needs) 3. Any real database will work (i.e. Access will not do and should not be used for any web application ever - SQL Server is an amazing database if you're stuck in a Windows only environment and there is cash to throw around). What really matters is: 1. Comfort level of the developers who will be working on the product with whatever framework 2. Comfort level of the systems administrators and the rest of the organization who will be supporting it after you leave Finally: 1. Django is just a front end for Python. Places using Python include Nasa. It is also a standard language in all modern UNIX systems - which says alot about how solid it is and how it's here to stay. -Adam On Oct 23, 6:21 am, "Matthew Talbert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Dj, that is helpful. > > > A project I worked on over the summer used a Database that was 130 > > tables, and getting 1gb updates every 2 minutes.
