More than likely, one of the sql servers would do you well (haven't used
either mysql nor postgresql so I have no opinions on them). As for the CGI
language, I strongly suggest using php3 (and one of the matching
php3-pgsql or php3-mysql modules for extended language related to the two
above programs).
