In fact, there are, at least, some dozens of important enterprise-grade 
solutions build on top of LiveCode+MySQL, LiveCode+PostgreSQL and 
LiveCode+Oracle at work all over the world. But, because, those solutions are 
RIA/Web/Web services systems used by middle to world class companies for 
internal needs (not available at all to the public internet), it's difficult to 
communicate about such project (strong NDA clauses are always bind to such 
business contracts). In between some other LC colleagues present on this list, 
i worked for years on such projects (LC+PostgreSQL under Linux, LC+Oracle 9i to 
10g under Solaris) with great satisfaction and success, even before the 
availability of the LiveCode server.

If your question is : is it way to build in a clean and full reliable way a 
RIA/Web enterprise-grade solution (ERP-CRM class) in using :

LC RIA clients standalones
and/or Web 1.0, 2.0, HTML5/CSS3 browsable workfows

+

a server-sidde "n-tier" back-end where LiveCode server+ your.irev scripting 
will replace all the tasks you could implement in using PHP, Tomcat or JBoss

the response is definitively yes. About LC+PostgreSQL, i always prefer it over 
the LC+Oracle alternative each time the customer don't impose a Oracle 
preference. As you probably know, the PostgreSQL ACID compliance is in practice 
always lots more suitable than the Oracle's one... Don't hesitate to ask for 
more off-list if that can help.

Best Regards,

Pierre
