Yeah - at my current scale, I have absolutely no desire to use
anything but PostgreSQL. It has a bunch of neat stuff like full text
search and some key-value store capabilities, plus JSON storage is
coming (in about a year). Solid as a rock and no licensing problems
(except from Oracle pushing them off of previously "donated" SPARC
testing hardware.) ;-)
The only downside to PostgreSQL is that they really don't like Ruby or
Rails. But they're *very* Python and Perl friendly and the preferred
database for Django.
