I certainly agree that it depends on the application. We use at least
two open source applications (OTRS and AssetMan) which use a MySQL
3.23.x (ancient version) database. There is not much administration
necessary for these applications other than initial setup (creating
tables and users, backups, etc.) and creating summary tables for
reporting purposes. Certainly specific features (stored procs, views)
available in other RDBMS would have made creation of the summary
tables more convenient. I believe MySQL 5.0 adds stored procs,
views, and triggers, all of which have been available for some time in
PostgreSQL.
I would suggest Joan understand current and future needs required of
the application before turning and running.
