Glad you appreciated my post :] There's one other open source RDBMS that's been making a bit of a buzz - Firebird which is over at http://firebird.sourceforge.net/

Now I haven't had the opportunity to try this one first hand (the FreeBSD ports version was acting up) but have heard good things about it. Might be something to check out if you get the spare time.

Thanks
