Anton, The folks here that evaluated Open Source database systems seemed to find PostgreSQL to be a much more robust solution. They've been using it here in production for at least 3 years on zLinux. The database is small (< 100GB) but is quite active. The application is written in Perl and it accesses data on z/OS DB2 as well.

I am aware of massive use of it on midrange systems, some of them in mission critical applications. (I've always been a little disappointed that many mainframe shops aren't using more of the "major" open source packages like MySQL. It seemed like a natural cost savings over commercial software.) Have you tried MySQL and experienced performance problems, or are you just seeing if anyone else has tried it out before you start?
