Very cool!

I've been playing with some servlet stuff lately, and this represents
a potentially useful interface.

As Dave mentioned, there's some faintly realistic data in the source
tree; load it, and you get something that's at least not ludicrously
worthless.

Note to all: This approach provides a ready way of extending to a
multiuser interface...

At the moment, I'm both "connected" to the web side, as well as, via
the command:
   % psql -h nebsllc.com -d qagnc -U gncqa
to the database directly.

I would suggest the thought that "multiuser" be considered completely
synonymous with "using SQL DBMS."  The database provides an interface
that supports many concurrent connections; that supports multiple
users without needing to think very much about it.
