About GnuCash 2.3.x / 2.4

[AmigaPhil]

Now that GnuCash 2.3.x / 2.4 will also store the data in a SQL
database, I guess this will allow users to perform several
operations without loading the GnuCash interface, like creating
and interacting with a HTML (and PHP/MySQL queries) report from
a web browser.  Am I right ?

What will be needed to be able to access the database from a local
web form ?

- a web browser (almost every computer already has one installed)
- PHP5
- MySQL or PostgreSQL
  (MySQL is already installed on my Linux distribution.  But I read
  some years ago discussions about how superior/safer PostgreSQL is.
  Is it worth to install PostgreSQL too ?  Which one is better ?)

Anything else ?
