I have been watching the database situation lately and some interesting
changes are coming. RDBMS systems are finally seeing some credible
challengers. The most interesting newcomer is probably CouchDB. I have
also been quite impressed with ZODB for the past few years as I have
been pounding it in my web applications and it hasn't failed me once.

The vast majority of things that I have used a database for were not
really suited to a relational database but because I know mysql that is
just what I ended up using. I suspect most people are in this situation.
But for web apps for example that probably isn't the best way to go. I
am most interested in reliability and high availability.
