I think the very best thing for you to do, in order to get concrete and 
helpfull asistance is to write a very concrete and helpful info on what 
are you working on, what are you expecting of typo3 to do for you and 
what data you have so far in your databases. For example this is a very 
informative question:
I have a db2 with info on atoms. I need to use typo3 to display it on 
web and let surfers leave comments on every atom, I also need to give 
some top secret, never to be mentioned in public, Russin nuclear 
scientists ability to edit the atoms info.

This kind of question can be answered very directly and even some 
extensions suggested (though I hope noone would help folks developing 
mass murder weapons...). While you have made quite a, no offence 
intended, vague inquiry with almost no relevant data. You need to tell 
us what you need to do in much more detail.
