Yeah, it seems crazy these days to actually have to *pay* for a database. But there are reasons why people still make decisions that allow Larry Ellison to by another small island in the Caribbean (and why people would pay $$ for FrontBase). We use it as an excellent fit for our WebObjects applications. And in the past MySQL has been quite problematic for any kind of applications that require a lot of updating rather than lots of simple reads (as you get in web apps). FrontBase is also completely SQL92 compliant which is rare.

Anyway, I don't want to get into the usual database wars here, nor is it the place. I've been happy with FrontBase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and others. It was, though, quite nice to see a fairly small db vendor provide runrev support.
