Thanks to everyone who took the time to weigh in on this. Perhaps most useful to me are the comments of those who have used OpenBSD for heavy database work (I intend to use Postgresql) and have gotten satisfactory results.
Then using PostgreSQL should really work well for you then and you wouldn't really need or benefit much from multicore kernel with the giant lock removed as PostgreSQL is not and do not use threads anyway by design oppose to MySQL that does. So, that choice of database eliminate your biggest concern form the start.
Enjoy your retirement and try to still have fun. Best, Daniel
