I don't know much about MS SQL Server or database in general, what would you guys consider free and open source alternatives to MS and Oracle Enterprise offerings?

Where does mysql stand in all this?

Thanks.




Postgres has been getting a bit of interest from a few people in the MS dev community recently, e.g. http://datachomp.com/archives/im-leaving-sql-server-for-post...


Postgresql. Mysql is missing far too many basic features to be considered. One of the big reasons that so many fad driven developers jumped ship from mysql to nosql "dbs" was just because mysql can't even do online schema changes.
