Yes and kind of yes.
I was hoping to avoid starting a holy war. But you owe it to yourself to
either add PostgreSQL to your list or maybe even replace MySQL with
PostgreSQL. MySQL is a favorite among the .com's and rightfully so.
PostgreSQL earns more respect from professional DBA's as being a
feature-complete RDBMS and they have tried to keep their SQL
implementation close to Oracle's to help developers get up to speed
quickly. If you're doing financial transactions, I wouldn't even consider
MySQL. If all you're doing is a CMS or forums or something less critical,
MySQL is still an option.
