Dave,

please also check out the licence and costs terms in detail.
Especially: is it given that the planned usage willl continue to be
within the allowed bounds for MySQL-GPL? Are otherwise the costs for
MySQL-commercial budgeted or a reserve founded?

PostgreSQL has here a GIANT advantage with a very very clear licence
which allows basically anything relevant; without the need to buy
commerical licences.

Harald
