If this is a "heavy" database application you would be much better off with
PostgreSQL. There are many things that you will have come to rely on in
DB2 that I am told by DB techies do not exist in MySql. I have heard MySql
described as the Access (DB bit, not the forms and views bit) of the Linux
world, i.e. it is wonderful for cheap and chearful and very simple apps,
but for anything serious use Postgresql or a commercial DB (DB2 is
available for Linux!).
