Postgresql is often thought of as better than MySQL.

You might want to consider http://melati.org/=20
if you are confident with java programming.=20

The good thing about Melati is that you can use=20
Postgresql, hsqldb, mysql, mssql or (potentially)=20
oracle.

Melati works with a template engine, currently either Velocity or WebMacr=
o.=20

The down side is that the Melati community is quite small.

I am very prejudiced against MS, spend the money you would spend on licen=

on employing prelancers :)
