I'd like to create a simple SQL database and frontend for doctors to
store patient information and automate callbacks, backups, and label
printing.  

Of course I would like this to be an open source project.  (GPL'd too,
as much as possible).  Having had no experience with SQL, I'd like to
know the groups opinions/experiences to help choose between the
different SQL possibilities.  (i.e. mySQL, PostgreSQL)

But most importantly, I'd like to learn how not to recreate the wheel.
You see, I'm sure at least most of the backend work (while maybe not
specifically written to store patient information) may already be
written for some other purpose.  In the end, it's just a simple database
like any other, a few simple fields such as name, address, contact and
insurance info, and a few user customizable fields (mostly for history).

I've already looked at the open source medical software options and
didn't find anything that really suited my needs.  

Where can I find the information I need to make my efforts as efficient
as possible?  

Thanks everybody!
