Perhaps this is a result of the cost of failure?
What I mean to say is that very often database apps have to deal with *huge* volumes of data. As such, you could end up wasting *hours* if your app doesn't work correctly.
With PHP dev, for the most part, you refresh your browser to test. If it doesn't work right you make a quick change and you're off.
