For the DB connectivity part I recommend the ODBC library. It's in the
"extras" directory in the Mercury source code distribution. I've slightly
improved it. I can send you my version, if you want.

There's also a CGI library there, which I haven't used yet.

And there's a list of Mercury resources (libraries, for instance), which I
maintain. It's here:

Good luck,
