Or, you could write your business rules as a middleware application in C
or Python (etc.) and access that middleware to do the rest of your
application.
Consider sending queries to your middleware and having it respond in
XML for a great way to do better-than-SQL responses in some cases
(such as making 'group by' return every result, grouped into XML
sub-sections
by the relevant field).
Of course, it depends on how big your project is and what needs it has.
