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 wou

Of course, Pascal! :)

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?

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,

Sure, but as vehicle for forums, content system e
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 programmin

This is not the only problem. To be able to do multiple MySQL queries at
