Hi,
If you where planning on writing a new online inventory system with a
Firebird DB as backend. Yes that is what I'm about to do... What
would be the best choice of language?
For one I don't know PHP, but was told it is really easy to learn. I
know Object Pascal / Delphi very well.

Asking in this mailing list, I would have guessed that much. :-)
You can also create an apache module with FPC. I would

Of course, Pascal! :)

Since I would like to use FreePascal, among other things, for teaching,
it would be great for me to have a simple library of drawing functions,
i.e. very simple setup (one function call), cross-platform (but only
GNU/Linux is also okay) and pretty high-level overall.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but what is the difference? Memory
usage, threading, etc? I've only ever setup websites with Apache
and written basic CGI apps.
Is there a speed difference between CGI and PHP?
Memory usage? Session information?

Is the 'graph' unit a candidate for this (I remember it to be easily
used from my Turbo Pascal days), or is there a better alternative?
If you're considering compatibility with other pascal compilers (TP/BP, FPC,
Delphi) then the graph unit is the best alternative since it's also available on

AFAIK, no. CMIIW. On Linux, it requires svgalib and root access.

The main problem with the graph unit is that basically no one is
maintaining it currently. The poor performance is coupled to that, since
a plugin for it which bases it on sdl or any other framework could be
written.
I think it's becaused not too much people need (direct) graphical console

I would like to put my two sense in because I have been doing extensive
FreePascal Web programming, and I have to agree that FreePascal has a
nice structure and PHP often can get quite ugly.
For many applications PHP is just fine.
The points you guys are bringing up are good ones - like
This is an interesting discussion, guys. I really believe that there
is no one perfect language and some languages are better at some
problems than other. I should also know better than to argue with
people who clearly know more than I do about *writing* a language,
since I know nothing about it,
I agree. But that is something of a matter of taste.
PHP is not professionals. If things get big, either in code or in
performance, PHP becoems a serious handicap.
I don't agree. PHP is used by corporations all over the place now.
Sure, but as vehicle for forums, content system etc. At
Now Pascal has its defficiencies in web programming too. CGI programming
tends not to be very scalable, allthough it compensates by raw
performance. The trouble is when databases come in, connection pooling is
almost impossible to achieve with CGI.
I'm not quite agree with this. CGI
