I vote for PostgreSQL. I used MySQL for many years, but since I've
been introduced to postgres, I find it to be a lot more reliable and
full-featured. The new MySQL 5.x claims to have a lot of the stuff that
postgres does (proper transactions, replication, etc, etc) but I haven't had
a chance to try it yet.
