Yes, it seems like people are just recommending the database they have had personal, successful experience with. Not a good way to make a choice.
I've looked at several CMS systems and a while ago decided Drupal way the better one. Mainly because of the community energy behind it. It has sustained momentum for several years and the community is largely friendly and helpful.
I've looked at several databases and a while ago decided that Firebird was the better one for this type of project. Mainly because of its emphasis on low administration requirements and small footprint. MySQL is a joke of a database, is not FOSS, and does not deserve any further growth in use.
So, I would double check if Drupal can run on top of Firebird and, if so, use that combination. If not, Drupal with Postgresql.
The idea of developing a CMS using FPC is wonderful. But the resources just are not there to get this done quickly, if at all. Time to stand on the shoulders of others and just get the job done.
