Well, alex, consider this: Doing the database-connective aspect will be
time-consuming, and probably more difficult than you anticipate, but it will
save you labor later on. On the other hand, it will not save you ALL the
labor, as you willl have to update the database if you use a database
back-end. So, it's your call.
