Cgi and Database (stick to standards)

[Bernard Devlin]

I'm not sure what kind of database requirements you have.  But in my
tests using queries performing multiple joins on several tables
containing between 1 million and 9 million rows each, Rev cgi
completely blew away Java and relational databases:

If you need multi-user/multi-application update/insert access to the
data, then Rev is probably not the right solution.  For other
situations, I would say don't dismiss Rev's native data structures
without thorough testing of the speed differences when compared to a
RDBMS.
