> Any suggestions?? Yes, provide background on your actual requirements so we aren't just pulling suggestions out of our asps (this being a Python-related but family-oriented newsgroup, that seemed more appropriate than the alternative). What kind of app are you building, what kind of structure will your database and app have, performance requirements, etc... (You might have already mentioned something in your other posting, but I didn't read/don't recall it and I'm sure many other potential respondents are in the same boat.) Also, a suggestion from the world of "agile development": stop making so many decisions and start writing some actual code! :-) That way you'll gain confidence in the choices you have made, and will rapidly find where you went wrong (as you'll inevitably decide you have about some things), rather than waiting till you've chosen all the perfect components and run out of time to get anything done. (This advice from the voice of experience, me having been where you are 20 years ago, and 15, and ten years ago, and five years ago...) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
