You need some middleware.
As it happens, my open source project "The Karoo Project" includes
some middleware for developing websites using postgresql as the
database, so you could use that. I had a look around for tools for
such middleware and seemed to find only PHP, but I'd be interested to
know if anyoe can enlighten me (in effect to tell me if my project is
filling a much needed gap or not.)

The website being heavy or light depends on the way you design it.
As long as your output is simple xhtml, or wap, or both (determined by
the mobile phone's html request headers), then it will be "light" from
the phone's perspective.

It depends a lot on the type of application and the type of data.
