Re: Database geeks

Perhaps this is a result of the cost of failure?

What I mean to say is that very often database apps have to deal with *huge* volumes of data. As such, you could end up
wasting*hours* if your app doesn't work correctly. 

With PHP dev, for the most part, you refresh your browser to test. If it doesn't work right you make a quick change and
you'reoff.
