Oracle 8i rel 3 enterprise edition - 28,000 pounds sterling. mySQL - freeish. Coming from an Oracle background, I started off hating mySQL. So far, I have only 'played' with it, but now have enough confidence to start using it for real. It is super fast and my test loads (as much as I can throw at it from several machines/sources/threads) have yet to fail. Does the job very nicely. Yes there are the usual gripes about views, transactional processing, and locking, but if you know about these at the design stage they can be managed. I'm a fan!
