Is there any equivalent to Dataclips for non-Heroku databases?

Surprisingly, its such a pain point that a company would spend $50,000 - 150,000 for a single installation.

Desktop apps still have a place in some B2B settings. For a year I worked for a company that developed software that managed fork lift battery inventories for warehouses. These were warehouses that had little to no internet connectivity on the floor and so having a desktop application was crucial. It was a niche market but highly profitable.

Sadly, I had a feeling that might have been the case. As stated before, I think Cherokee is a great product that just doesn't have the popularity other projects do.

Reading the comments, I noticed that Cherokee was added after the poll started. I wonder how many Cherokee users voted "Other". I, for one, am a Cherokee user and a big fan. The admin interface is easy to use and I love that its written in Python. As a Pylons developer, I also love that uWSGI is built right into the system.

As a listener to NPR, I don't agree that there is a bias toward government spending programs. This, to me, gives more credance to the poor writing in the article. If the writer believes there is a bias, then provide reference to some articles that support their statement.

Wow. I missed the date on there. I just stumbled onto that site while surfing and thought it was interesting as a Sphinx user.
