<P><blockquote><i>I would use a CGI based app if I wanted to deploy a front-end to a database</i></blockquote></p>
<p>Why? [diggemz] specifically said <i>"The system is not required to be web capable."</i> - a web based application requires you to jump through hoops to manage state and maintain database connections, and you have a rather impoverished set of controls available. A real GUI client application will have none of the above problems and will (in a well designed program) win in usability terms.</p><p>/J\</p>
