This is not realy helpful is it. If you have the time, experinece
and are willing to fix it if it goes wrong, why not. Some companys
regaurd spending money but not there employees time with obhorence.
We build and used a bug tracing system using perl and postgres
whilst I was a the Bank of Nova Scotia, it had the same level
of insert transactions per month (about 5 a day). The searching
the database for statistics was a bit slow but the system never
when wrong (we did not spend the time on working out more
effective ways to do it, as it was fast enought for the perpose).
At the time the tools for creating forms and tables did not
exsits.
