The purchase of MySQL by Sun should actually give you more comfort. They will be able to attach more money and developers to the project. Remember, the advantage of open-source is not just that it's free, but that you may freely modify it for your purpose (keeping in mind the restrictions of individual licenses). I'm not sure what you're looking for in a RDMS, but the simple fact that you are having a hard time finding a robust, live site that uses PostgreSQL should scare you more than Sun's purchase of MySQL. I develop a relatively large, in-house application using PostgreSQL that I can't wait to convert to MySQL.
WHY? What a waste of time. More big MySQL sites have had problems in the past that Postgres, but the only reason to change TO MySQL is if it is going to give something in return. What do you think it will give you? Personally I'll stick with Firebird even though switching between engines is very simple in my case, using ADOdb ;) paragasu - http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/bitweaver_sites see if you can spot which engine is being used for which site :) MySQL is somewhat low on the list when it comes to testing :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
