I like PostgreSQL. It's open source and has made
great strides in recent years. It has some flaws. No
support in back end for pre-compiling queries, and, as
pointed out by Nissim, an unusal way of storing large
objects. Once, pre-compiling is added to the backend,
this product should have great performance.
