Hemant - We have been using mySQL for some applications. It seems to work well for some situations, especially mostly queries. It might work well for your information stores. Can you start on mySQL but plan on switching to Oracle as a contingency. Since mySQL is free, you wouldn't be out a lot of licensing fees.

How good is the feedback on mySQL handling Queries, Transactions, ConcurrentUserCounts and DatabaseSize ?
