Simon,

than the ones being discussed here. Some of the relevant ones were
cost, maintainability, and that it wasn't for us to use in-house, but
that the database we were envisioning was one that we would deploy to
remote areas w
Based on my current project, I would split down the decision as:
1) Is there any know how on administering PostgreSQL or Oracle at your
client side?
The human factor is crucial. Databases are often vital and the
confidence that you have in dumping/restoring/optimizing/planning
deployment is

I was involved in the same sort of decision about 9 months ago.
Often these decisions are made by one's IT department as spatial data mangement
