   You can learn how to write Products - it is exactly that. Few days ago I
started with Boring Product (somewhere on Zope site) and created my own
objects. Source code, working demo and Read-Only ADmin login:

   MySQL for UNIX is (almost) free. Postgres is completely free. Postgres
is better 'cause it has transactions and is almost full SQL92 compliant.
MySQL is faster (for most simple queries), and has better granulated
security (in Postgres, if user can connect to DB, he can create as many
tables as he wants).
