Presumably this could allow use of HTML forms as an interface to mySQL 
database on the same machine, wherein one passes, on submission of the 
form, for example,  word query search for a single word in  a 
particular table column... revDB functions would do the mySQL look up 
and return the cursor which could them be passed back out to an HTML 
template?

Am I getting warm on this? i.e. one could avoid PHP (which I don't know 
and don't care to learn) but achieve much the same results (minus 
persistence of variable over multiple sessions and other PHP specific 
stuff like that...)
