Based on all of your expert recommendations I have landed on PostGreSQL. What am I missing? ;^) It was easy to install. It started up right away as a service on Windows. It has what I can only describe as a "pretty" administrative tool (pgAdmin III) which works not only intuitively, but great. Admittedly, I have experience with MS SQL Server; but I find the ease of use almost overwhelming. All of my serious MS SQL Server work is where corporate DBA's have established the databases and tables. If it's set up, I have no problem. I have tried using MS SQL Server on my own systems and gave up. I even have Enterprise Manager. It has been a constant battle and I will only connect to someone else's MS SQL Server because I can't figure it out. The PostGreSQL help file and documentation is complete and accurate, too. Let me change my "What am I missing" to "What have I been missing out on". ...and by the way, Python is kind of the same way. It is easy to learn and just works. Thank you for your input.
