Are you talking about most hosting providers? Are you talking about what most mature open source projects support? I don't think I understand your requirements. If my requirements were "higher level language for representing databases designed with erwin/db2 and implemented with access," I'd seek a higher feature set then mysql 4. If my requirements were "something andromeda like for new open source projects targeted at shared hosting" I'd go with mysql 5 or postgres. If my requirements were "schema designer for drupal/joomla extensions" and the decision of mysql 4 was therefore made for me, Then I'd assume mysql 4 level SQL. Now,with all that being said, If I were pre-dispositioned towards referential integrity and schema being handled in the app level (which I am not, big surprise), I'd use mongo for new developement. With its ability to define stored procs in javascript, and, and 10gen listening to the community, its a sure win.
