Bryan - I am getting in a little late on all this, but there is a true enterprise class open source database you might want to take a look at called SAPDB.
http://www.sapdb.org/ Supports stored procedures, triggers, transactions, views, etc. and it is blazingly fast. I have been using it for more than a year with no issues. We are moving things from Oracle over to SAP left and right. It is definitely not as popular as mysql, and I have heard a lot of people complain about the UI. Granted, the database could be a lot more user friendly, but I think it is no more / less confusing than Oracle on a linux box.
