Any opinions on accessing databases via the web?

Let me be more specific: can anyone share their thoughts or experiences
with database


to web links with the various tools that are out there? I am looking at
putting together a


system for an online catalog for a customer and am considering what tools
and databases


to use.



Here's what I've decided on so far:


	Platform:		Windows NT
	Web server:	IIS (90% sure of this one)
	Access method:	definitely NOT cgi, more than likely dbWeb for ODBC





I'm looking at ODBC-compliant databases such as Oracle, Sybase, and
SQLServer. I


am leaning towards SQLServer at this time because Oracle and Sybase love
to charge


a mint for their products.



    
  
  1.   Are there specific reasons why I should use Oracle over SQLServer or
Sybase? 
  
  2.   Is the Oracle price _really_ worth it?
  
  3.   Has anyone had any experience with Oracle's Webserver?
  
  4.   Has anyone found a combination of OS/web server/gateway/database that
they just
	love and would actually use again if given the chance?






Thanks in advance.
