Mapping SQL Result Sets to Browsers

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The discussion last month about validating and mapping HTML input 
elements to records helped me streamline some of my procedures.  Now I'm 
interested in streamlining my interface for writing SQL result sets to 
browsers.

Actually, the recent discussion about generating PHP result sets from 
stored procedures triggered some of my thoughts on this matter, with my 
primary goal of coming up with an interface that's productive for RPG 
developers.

With that in mind, are there methods that folks are using that you think 
are good, and would be willing to discuss, to help me improve my 
interface, regardless of whether you're using MS .Net, or PHP, or Java, 
or Net.Data, or CGI, or whatever?

Say the application is simple as prompting the user to enter a name. 
Then generating a list of people having that name (or name prefix) from 
your database.

Thanks,

Nathan.
