I'm working on such a stack right now for a client. It "posts" queries to a 
http server + mc cgi which in turn passes them to the database using 
shell(), then replies the results back to the client. I can't make it 
publicly available though, just a confirmation that it can be done without 
much hustle and it works nicely. SQL must be used in communicating to the 
database, no way around it but that's the easy part.
