[Anthony Wlodarski]

We use PostgreSQL for our environments.  Although it is quite powerful there
are some ease of use issues with tuning and getting it to perform at its
maximum.  But the great thing about PostgreSQL is transactions right out of
the box, that has been the most useful feature so far.

I haven't had a chance to play with Oracle but I don't see them GPL'ing that
DB any time soon.  Clients pay too much to use it.
