For OS X PostgreSQL go here: http://www.postgresqlformac.com
OpenBase is another option, I believe it's still free for 10
connections (you mentioned no heavy usage, I'm assuming connections
Hi Sara,

subject to heavy usage, if that makes any difference to the

MySQL (3.2.3) use to be a very unsecure solution. More, it was unable to
