PostgreSQL is as close to ANSI SQL 92 as you can get, and it is still improving. Even though it may not be 100%, I would say it is at least 99.9%. Try it out before judging it. Afterall, it is *free*. :-) > They recomend (obvius) Oracle 8. But it's no so cheap. And I've heard > that the version for SCO runs SLOW.

[Anthony fainted...] Please try out PostgreSQL first. It is full-featured and support transactions, etc. You could also try MySQL, which is very fast, but lacks some functionality in PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL rivals Oracle 8 and MS SQL Server in functionality. It is a professional RDBMS. Go visit http://www.postgresql.org/. Read the site. Subscribe to their mailing list. Ask questions. I'm sure there are lots of gurus there happy to help you in your decision.
