well there is some stuff that those languages can do (more efficiently
speaking of course) with postgres that php can't do.

    That is a matter of perspective, actually...I find perl5 plus the
CGI module easier and faster to code in then PHP/FI *shrug*  If you are
already comfortable in Perl, Perl is better...if you aren't, then PHP is
most likely faster to get up to speed with, but doesn't have all the
features you would have in Perl...

And if you want the server-side application to stay in memory and hold its
database connections alive, I believe CGI is out of the question. In
addition, if your choice of web server is not Apache, a solution which
relies on it is also out of the question. In my case, server-side Java is
probably the answer.
