    I think PostgreSQL's recent success is great. I used MS Access first (in my Windows server days), then moved to PostgreSQL on RH linux. However, this was a few years ago, and the db couldn't keep up with my web app. So i moved to Oracle out of necessity.

    I still use PostgreSQL for small projects, and could use it more in the future as it gets better. Oracle rocks, but it's damn expensive, so it's only good for bigger jobs. Plus, open source is cool.
