If you ask someone with experience of developing large apps using commercial databases they will say PostgreSQL. They find it amazing that anyone would contemplate serious database development without Unions, Subqueries, Views, Triggers and Stored Procedures. It's like going back ten years. Having said that the lack of OUTER (LEFT) joins in PostgreSQL is a pain, though of course there's a workaround
fyi postgres 7.1 has outer joins and nulls in user functions, and no more 8k row limit. kapil
