I would have to recommend postgresql. I've got a prototype ecommerce site 
running with Zope at the front, some python in the middle and postgresql
at the backend. Currently it is a prototype so we only have about 20,000
items in there at the moment however it seems to work very well. (Once I 
brushed up on some of my SQL).

Check it out at http://www.postgresql.org
