	You can try Postgres95 or mSQL. The later one
	is very light and implements only small subset
	of SQL , the former one is much more powerful
	and extensible.
	The only problem with the first one is that
	to my knowledge all development on it was canceled
	( grant issue).

	Both have Perl modules , so one can very nicely
	build 'em into cgi-bin scripts. Apache ppl were
	even talking about building in native mSQL support
	into their HTTP server.
