Depends what kind of application you are going to develop.

I used C++ with MySQL API in order to write ht://Check and ... I find it 
really fast! I had to play with indexes for a while in order to tune 
performances to the best, but I am really satisfied by it.

I didn't need any GUI at all for instance, and didn't need it to be 
*portable* (I was happy with it to run on almost any Linux), just *fast*.

However, if you need to do a Web application, probably Java Servlet or JSP 
with JDBC are good.

Ciao and good luck

So if you sent me a message, and I never replied to you,
