Which is the best language to develop a database using application
 

hi..

I am having my Database Lab now and i have to make an application which uses a database ( preferably a web based ) application...

So i was wondering which would be the best for the same..

Obviously the most prominent choices are Java or PHP..
But any comments guys??

I've used both PHP and JDBC with Java. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. If you don't know either language, I personally think that PHP is easier to pick up. Plus, with Java you'll need to deploy the application on a servlet engine like Tomcat.

And if you don't really want to have to do too much
coding look at http://www.zope.org - there are connectors
for the major OpenSource databases available, and
it's easily extended using Python.
