So true. I'm most experienced in Oracle and I love it, but my current project budget doesn't allow me to buy a licence (I think). I 100% agree that Oracle is the best choice (DB2 and Informix almost as good), but I have to look for reasonable open source alternative. I hope that Oracle (as announced) changes its licence policy the way that the use of their software could be paid after the application is released and bringing commercial incomes. In hope, Peter.
