The "P" in LAMP could also be either Perl or Python ...

at least that was my impression reading about the definition in several difference sources. Moreover, while the letters might not fit I am sure some of the actual applications were done with PostgreSQL without too much hostility being exhibited. |

You're right about that. But, this particular solution is based on the original configuration - Linux Apache MySQL and PHP. That's the solution - no PostgreSQL, middleware, Perl, Python or whatever. If it was something else, I would gladly write it that way. I'm for diversity at all costs :) |

Darnit! I always thought it stood for Paul! |

Indeed. I am currently in the process of porting one of my PHP projects to Python/mod_python. There were a few issues to resolve, but now I'm reaping the benefits. Python rocks for web programming. This is the same project that I first ported from PHP/MySql to PHP/PostgreSQL and later went live with. It's been fun seeing this project evolve. Python and PostgreSQL are a nice combination, even if it doesn't get a lot of press. BTW, the 'M' in LAMP stands for "middleware", not MySQL as many believe. P.S. Paul. You are incorrigible. ;-) |

sbergman --- I agree that python-postgresql make a powerful combination. I got started in that direction with Zope, though I'll admit the relationship with Zope is love-hate. Postgresql is a fabulous database. I would say that it is under-appreciated, but that's not quite right. Those who use it appreciate it plenty. With Postgresql 8, it's improved journaling-recovery, replication, native Windows version, etc, etc,etc, maybe it will catch a little more attention. If not, the rest of us can just appreciate it a little more. |
