One-shot restarts the app server everytime you call it. This is for
development only. Using a db server should prevent you from loading a db
into mem in either case.

No. If you do serious work, you *will* need a db system. I've wasted
precious time lookin' for a way not to use an RDBMS. Seems that you are at a

They maintain a list of Webware driendly ISPs.

After working with Webware for some time now i can say it is definitely a
pleasure to use it. Its MiddleKit lets you use an RDBMS (right now it's
MySQL and MS SQL Server) with very little pain (if there's any).
