F/OSS Database experiences & recommendations

[Ted Roche]

Thanks, Kevin. I am looking for something a bit more complex, and I probably
should have explained that.

I develop business applications involving dozens to hundreds of tables of
data, and I'm looking to move some of these applications to a F/OSS backend
from ISAM tables and/or Oracle/SQL Server back-end databases. I'm looking
for database servers that run on Linux or cross-platform, and have tools to
develop, test, maintain and tune them. Yes, it can all be done from the
command line, but GUI or web-based tools to leave in the hands of my
customer's DBAs have an advantage.

If all you need to store are key/value pairs and you don't need SQL or
network access, Berkeley DB is very nice/fast/reliable/portable.
