Indeed I didn't give much information but that was the intention. I
wanted to keep the discussion as broad as possible. Gnucash is not a web
application, it is a standalone software. For a large range of
application nowadays the question often is: should an application be
built on a standalone toolkit or as a web interface. In that sense it
doesn't really matter what particular database I will use or what kind
of language is used to outpud HTML (Perl, Java, PHP etc).
My original thougt was that as this is a GnuCash mailing list, that
there will surely be developers familiar with developing accounting
software. Because this list has extensive knowledge using a standalone
toolkit for an accounting software I thought you can share some
experience. Perhaps you feel sometimes that GnuCash would do better when
using a web interface, or perhaps you can give some good arguments why a
standalone approach is way superior when building an accounting software.
