Lot of tham I guess. For one, PGSQL is ORDBMS and I am not sure if MSSQL is. If you need a better sql dialect, PGSQL is your pick. > 3) I heard someone quoting on some newsgroup that Oracle for Linux is > free.Is that true? I guess you still have to pay for licenses. If oracle can figure on your list, I would suggest give DB2 a try. It's leaner than oracle and may be faster as well. Never used myself. Your queries are too vague to answer. I suggest you create list of features you need and see who supports what. If there are any specific queries, ask again. Blind shot. Go for Postgres/DB2. Choose oracle if you know what you are doing..
