Yes - HTMLDB is simple, and straighforward.
Validation can only be basic, as one would expect from HTML.
Triggers in a form - to do what? Same comment on HTML applies.
Transaction logic should not be in a form alone - it is allowed
as duplicate of the db transactional code, nothing more.
Thus - HTMLDB will cope (with the db-centric code).
And did I not say "Unless .... changes due to HTML..."?
As I replies to Oliver: stick to Java, then.
