PostgreSQL 8 is even better, with much improved Perl support for
procedure languages, point in time recovery, nested transactions
and syncronous master->multi-slave replication. Even less reason
to use Oracle for any small/medium sized application :-) PG works
with > 2 GB dbs no trouble. Hell, it can do full text search 1GB of my
email archives in < 0.2 seconds with the tsearch2 module :-)

Tora supports postgresql as well as oracle now & is pretty good equivalent
to Toad which is what most weendoze people seem to like. Tora has the benefit
of being open source too.
