Can Rev be used as server database?

[Bill Vlahos]

I think Rev could make a pretty good server. The only example I'm aware 
of is Tuviah' chat software at the RunRev user contributed page.

I'd like to see a simple generalized example of a Rev web server app 
designed for forms. I've done this sort of thing with AppleScript and 
WebSTAR but Rev should be able to do the whole thing.

The biggest issue would be how to effectively handle multiple 
simultaneous request/conversations while keeping track of each of them.
