[GRASS-user] Online database with GRASS

Hi all,

My company's looking at making our geodata available online using an
OpenStreetMaps map and some kind of geodatabase that the OSM interface
accesses to display polygons with various attributes. The user should be
able to click on the polygon and read the attributes. Now, I know the online
interface is not the topic for this forum, but the whole thing is pretty
challenging for me and the databank with GRASS is threatening enough.

Does anybody have any experience with this type of project? I know e.g. that
GRASS can work with DBF, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL RDBMS, MySQL embedded
databases, and UnixODBC. As a complete newbie to any kind of advanced
database systems, I don't know the differences there. What would you all
suggest? We're looking at a large amount of data, several ten thousand
polygons with associated with about 10 attributes each. What would be the
best option there and how would one set it up?

Any help, suggestions or... Pretty much any communication regarding this
matter would make me a very happy guy :) Thanks a lot in advance!

Best,
Daniel
