My employer is (and by association I am as well) a long-time user of
Sybase for internal workflow, Peoplesoft integration, and e-commerce
projects. When I first started knocking around with db-driven stuff for
my own web projects about four years ago, I used MySQL. Then I started
missing the stored procedures, triggers, transactions, foreign keys and
the like that I was used to with Sybase. So I migrated to PostgreSQL.
I've had very positive experiences with both Sybase and PostgreSQL. I've
never had to administer Sybase though, so I can't speak to that.
