Peter,
From past experience (which had the same motives) take a serious
look at PostGreSql(http://www.postgresql.org/). The latest versions
have a lot in common with Oracle, though not everything, so it's a lot
easier to transition from one to the other.

Subject: Open Source Database Questions
Because of the current economy we are being encouraged to consider open
source databases.
One of the vendors has referenced a JTPCC benchmark which is an open
source Java version of TPCC. Has anyone heard of JTPCC? Is it in any
way truly comparable to TPCC? Keep in mind that I am skeptical of TPCC
so this may be a loaded question.
Is anyone currently using open source databases in production? Our
typical database is approximately 200G but the range is 50G to 3.5T.
One of our typical databases has approximately 200 distinct users at any
one time. Any thoughts on a sweet spot for open source databases?
This does all come down to money! I am pretty sure that we will have an
open source database inhouse by year end. The major question is how
best to use it.
Thanks,
