I'm hoping sooner or later database companies realize that httpd servers are
really just internet front-ends to public or private databases and start
bundling or selling httpd servers that sit directly on top of their
technology - not cgi-bin gateways, but an integrated part of the database
itself. Anyone doing something like this for Sybase? I've got a
shopping list of server dream features that require this...
