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. :)
