I am doing the same thing. Trying to make a website that is 90 percent databases/scripts driven. The main problem I have is finding a good host that allows multi database in use.

roBofh,

Sorry for not being more precise, I guess ASP isn't either since it can be written in VBScript, JavaScript, PerlScript, etc...

I don't like just saying Perl because you can use Perl in different platforms, that's why I said CGI.

Dang ye nitpickers! (Sorry, just got off the phone with someone from South Carolina )

Just to clarify: CGI is not a programming language. Perl is. PHP is. CGI is not.

jhowse,

You'll want to use some form of server-side language (ASP, PHP, CGI, CF, etc) so you can connect to your database and display the results of your query inside the page. The first step for you should be deciding what language to use. If you're using NT server then I highly recommend using ASP, if you're using UNIX or Linux then maybe try PHP. Cold Fusion is always an option as well.
