We've been using Postgres for all our web-related dbs for years now.
Not only is it heaps cheaper than Oracle, it's reached a level nowadays where
it
is quite usable. Regardless of the perorations of Stonebraker - who has been
remarkable silent since his last "take over the Oracle world" crusade fizzled
before it even started... - Postgres is a viable alternative. And it actually
can interface with Oracle quite well through the HS magic.
Not about to move our DW to it but a lot of other smaller stuff is being
seriously considered.
