All depends...do you want to build a "directory" type site where there are individual
categories and links to CARS with more details? Or would you prefer a "database" type
of site where you can only search for CARS rather than browse categories? Really
depends on what application you are attempting to build.
If it is the former you are after, then LINKS SQL is better. If it is the latter, then
DBMAN SQL better.
If you want to have intergrated user features, then LINKS SQL is definitely the
better choice since you would have to HACK DBMAN SQL quite a bit for it to match
the user features in LINKS SQL.
Well...that really deals with what type of operating system and platform you are using
for a web server. Are you using a Windows based server running IIS? If so, then, yes,
ASP would be the wiser choice since Perl scripts eat up memory and also pose many
security risks in Windows servers. If you are running a UNIX or Linux servers with
Apache or some other web server software, then ASP would not be the best choice
since you would have to install Chilisoft to run ASP in UNIX/Lynx servers, yet since
most UNIX/Linux web server hosting companies already have Perl installed and CGI
script access, it is best to go with Perl, although there are also possibilities with
Server-side Java or even Phython...and of course, PHP.
