Well, as a thought, unless you stage your own system or colocate, I've
yet to see a web site using MaxDB. Most of the sites that offer web
hosting services with open software have MySQL, apache, php, and perl.
Is there a perl DBI for MaxDB yet?

Unless you like the bleeding edge, I'd stay with what's generally
available if you're staging a web application. If it's for an intranet,
you can do what you like.
