Well, in the interest of statistics and mucking up search engines, I'll
throw a few in here then - PHP or mod_perl, MySQL or PgSQL. DBI for CGI.

Orthodox? I'd like to think my methods are anything but that :-) I'm
working on the rule at the moment that if it moves, stick it in a
database. If it doesn't move, stick it in a database. If it won't fit,
store it as XML somewhere and shove it through templates.
Sadly, I don't think there are tools out there yet to let the "layperson"
easily do this with their webpages though - frustrating, as they are very
often the people with the least time who could benefit the most from these
new methods.
I'd be interested to hear experiences with ColdFusion or publishing via
databases in general.
Andrew.
