So how do you retrieve data that are kept in different tables? Or do you simply replicate the same data in every single table that needs it? > Ajax/Jquery is someone else's parametrised programming language.

If they want to use it, let them. While I'd agree with you somewhat on jQuery and frameworks, AJAX isn't the same thing. It's just a style of user interface that does make the application more user-friendly. After all, in the hypothetical accounting program, wouldn't typing a few letters in the invoicing page to start displaying a list of possible customers be more efficient than having to go to a separate search page to list and select a customer? >> also, I'd suggest using postgresql for better data integrity, and >> anything-but-php (Python?) for better webside security. > > I have been using MySQL on Linux for about 4 years and never had a > problem. What security issues has PHP ? In my largely unresearched opinion, the same security issues that any server side language might have: careless or naive programmers. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
