    "Myaaa, Did you get the memo? We're now using the new cover on all TPC Reports. If you could just do that, that would be great. Thanks."

    Postgresql or mysql isn't suitable for enterprise-level work
    MySQL certainly isn't, but PostgreSQL can do anything Oracle can do. The only things it lacks are mindshare and access-style forms. This doesn't stop it from running the .org DNS registry, or many other "enterprise-level" tasks, and several projects are working on the access-style forms, including Kexi, PGAdmin3, and the newly liberated Rekall. Mindshare is a little more difficult, but given time, it will come.
