#problem i have is, i need a database to store potentially very large
#amounts of data.. i need BLOB support (*real* blobs) very much. Postgresql
#doesn't have it, the "large object" support is an obvious (and clunky)
#bolt-on. MySQL does (well, it has nothing else.. "MySQL: an SQL interface
#to the file system"), but with each table being one file, I'll be hitting
#that damnable 2GB limit sooner rather than later.

Since you mentioned you're using Solaris, you might want to check if
there's a version of MySQL that supports 64-bit files. If so, you'll have
a considerably bigger limit as far as file sizes go.
