Databases are probably one of the most common and fundamental types of software.
The list goes on. By publishing databases on the web you can allow anyone with a browser and a net connection to access that database from anywhere in the world. They can input data, they can edit data, they can search and sort data and the can instruct the database to perform any numbers processes on that data. The nature of that data, and what can done with it, is pretty much limited only by imagination. We also make use of the flexibility of Lasso as the language that defines the interaction between web pages and databases.
