[Gambas-user] A couple of questions about building web / cgi applications

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Hey Bruce,
In addition to all the good suggestions everyone is throwing in the
problem, you could use a CouchDB database on a different server and just
connect to it with a normal http connection if you're worried about file
hits on the sd card. Gambas supports JSON and the httpclient component
should work just fine for what you want it to do.

Hope this helps,
Dimitris
