Um if you plan on growing and need to do reporting or data entry outside
the stateless web, I will say UNLESS mysql has fixed table level locking
you can NOT live with it. :)

Generally GNU Enterprise comes to mind, but our web front ends are still
being worked on heavily. I would be interested in talking more about
your requirements. It is in Python and C, but is a GNU project and one
of the maintainers lives locally so you can beat him when things dont
work. :)
