The thread discussing the relative merits of mySQL and PostgreSQL have been very informative. I've been looking at the possibility of using FrontBase (http://www.frontbase.com/), primarily for its support of ACID and Unicode since I'm primarily working with Chinese, Japanese and Korean data. Moving from mySQL to FrontBase also seems to be relatively painless (although that isn't a consideration for me now choosing a database). Does anybody have good/bad experience working with FrontBase?
