If my requirements were "higher level language for representing databases
designed with erwin/db2 and implemented with access," I'd seek a higher
feature set then mysql 4.

If my requirements were "something andromeda like for new open source
projects targeted at shared hosting" I'd go with mysql 5 or postgres.

If my requirements were "schema designer for drupal/joomla extensions" and
the decision of mysql 4 was therefore made for me, Then I'd assume mysql 4
level SQL.

Now,with all that being said, If I were pre-dispositioned towards
referential integrity and schema being handled in the app level (which I am
not, big surprise), I'd use mongo for new developement. With its ability to
define stored procs in javascript, and, and 10gen listening to the
community, its a sure win.
