Alex, Brian and All,
You are true : MySQL 4.0.12 and above are clearly good choices too and
MySQL 5 will be a grat (SAPDB) issue. What i had in mind in speaking
about MySQL (in general) is that the newbies don't, firstly, care about
the issue of the MySQL server they are connecting to and, for yet, most
of the MySQL servers, installed by default, by the Linux distribs or the
providers are still the 3.23 issue, without the innoDB or MySQL-Max
add-ons...
Else, i full agree : MySQL 4/5 are/will be good choices too, even if i prefer, for my own, the rock-solid options exclusivelly availables in PostgreSQL 7.xx ;-)
Thanks for clarifying Pierre. I should have known you are fully up-to-speed on all the MySQL versions :-)
I would recommend PostgreSQL also though.
For the ones interested, just have an eye on the exclusive replication's
new features or the "pg_dump" ones (on-line db backups, without having
to stop, first, the connection accesses availability of the server).
