I'm changing over out of necessity but none of this should be necessary. 
The database is not particularly sensitive, security is not an issue, 
the database isn't visible to the public but if someone hacks it there's 
no harm done, and the load is going to be so light as to be almost 
non-existent.

Meanwhile this is taking longer and is more trouble than it should have 
been. I had a nice, compact all-in-one solution bundled up into a single 
app file. Now I need server scripts and dispatcher code and files in 
multiple locations. Not to mention maintenance for a non-techie client.
