Alex, don't spend any money. Go get Postgresql and use that. It's fast, solid, stable, implements just about everything you need and costs nothing. I use it here ALL the time.

Here�s a more on-topic question for here....

We�re a Win2k shop looking to move to OS X Server 10.2 on XServe. Currently we�re running SQL Server 2k � but frankly, part of my goal is to get rid of all MS software for our servers. There are quite a few reasons for this, but I won�t elaborate.

Now, my budget is already going to go down the tubes with the XServes...and possibly WiTango (price still matters, and I�ll say that a large part of my reluctance to embrace paying $$$ for WiTango 5 is the price and my viewpoint that yes, its just an SP2 derivative). But you don�t want to skimp on the database. So...I may just keep one of our servers for SQL Server � but what low cost or freeware databases do you suggest? MySQL is what many people seem to use, but from my reading � not experience mind you � its not a �real� database. Yet large sites like SlashDot and others run off it just fine.

I�m not looking for a database war here, I�m not looking for support options � I�m just asking from what you currently run or have run in the past � what do you recommend?
