All the databases you mentioned bind to DBI in a perfectly satisfactory manner.
A much more significant question is which database to use. This
mailing list is not the place for the inevitable religious war
between adherents of Mysql versus Postgres. There are many other

transactions, triggers, subqueries, referential integrity,
performance, reliability, and so on.
Just not here please.
