Web game as in played inside the browser? Why do you need C++ for that? I'm not even sure if it's possible to run C++ programs in a browser. You'd probably be a lot better off with Java; all the database stuff already exists through JDBC. Of course, I have ZERO experience writing networking stuff, so I could be wrong about the C++ stuff...

Where I work we do some of that, but it still requires Java to send stuff from the client to the to C++ stuff running on the server.
