Обсуждение: Rapid web based apps?

Looks like I am just full of questions today ;)

If you have to create a web based app with PostgreSQL as the backend, what
would you use?  Right now I am creating a custom CGI program in C, but I
think I am just being stubborn and not looking at what new tools are available.

What's everyone else using?

Thanks,
Matthew

You could check out Zope (http://www.zope.org/)

I'm currently using only parts of it (DocumentTemplates, Bobo (now
ZPublisher))
but I'm moving to it when I have a little more time. It does have a
(little)
learning curve, especially if you need to extend it, but basic things
should
be quite trivial.

PHP (http://www.php.org/) seems also quite popular.

Perl, Tcl, PHP3, Python to name a few.  I use Python and like it
very much.  Everything except PHP3 is in the interfaces directory.

PHP, it's easy, it works, it's fast.
 I downloaded it and had a working app in a couple of hours.

Hi Matthew,

I'm using C++

I'll second Hannu's recommendation of Zope - I'm using it right now to
develop some data management pages for a PosrgreSQL database.  The only
caveat is that the Zope->PostgreSQL connector (it's called ZPyGreSQLDA -
that's Zope Python postGreSQL Database Adaptor) is a contributed piece
of code with one show stopper bug - it errors on an empty query return!
I've posted a fix for that on the Zope mailing list, and sent it to the
author. If you decide to try it, fire me a note I can give you the patch
- oh, heck it's a one line additon patch: I'll attach it here.

Does it work well with BLOBs? No problems displaying pictures or movies?
