Subject: Re: Read & Write data on a site

Incidentally, there is a completely different approach: write the 
dynamic parts of your page as Javascript which runs inside the user's 
web browser. It can make AJAX queries to a remote database to fetch 
data, and update the web page DOM with the results.

This is the model which couchdb implements: http://couchdb.apache.org/

couchdb is essentially a database with a HTTP API. It can store and 
index JSON-structured documents, and arbitrary binary files as 
attachments (which means it can serve your static HTML and Javascript 
files too)
