Actually, someone did suggest PostgreSQL to me off-list. Thanks to all who
contributed ideas both on- and off-list -- when we get something running
that I'm happy with (or if we come up with something that we're UNhappy
with), I'll let you all know.

Subject: Re: DB app recommendations?
So far, nobody has mentioned mySQL or postgres, the two leading open
source databases. I'm far from a database expert, but I'd judge mySQL
noticeably slower than Oracle. However, that shouldn't matter much
unless you're dealing with massive amounts of data. I"ve heard, but
can't confirm that postgres is fster. But, with either one, the price is
right.
