Yes, you're probably right about the locking. I probably wouldn't have to
worry so much about this if I was using a big database system, but I'm
trying to do this as "cheaply" as possible.

As far as I know, I don't think so. I guess it won't hurt to ask them!
(I'm using http://free.prohosting.com in case someone here would already
know???) You say "socket-based database server". What do you mean? That
the said server would only be accessed by the running CGI processes or
should I rather make it the full server?
