Best intermediary between Form Services and a database?
As you all know I'm sure, submitting form data via forms services to a database is not supported. What is the best intermediary in order to use browser-enabled forms with forms services and submit form data to a database?

- Submit to a web service and the web service will take care of saving to DB and/or file system and what not!

- Sean, please change this to a question - it is actually a question - that way people can get credit for answering. I can't propose svarukala's reply as an answer due to this.
I thought using a web service was the obvious choice - it's the recommended method even if you have a rich client form. You should not ever connect directly to the DB - should always be a web service anyway. Using a web service will allow you to read from and write to a DB directly, although it also requires a bunch of other security steps to allow for the double hop and authentication impersonation.
