There is also mySQL (http://www.tcx.se) which was derived from mSQL.
It's improved, extended and freely available.
I had a (short) look at postgres95, mSQL and mySQL. Postgres95 is the one with
the best features (i.p. explicit transactions) and the best SQL support.
I also have the impression, that it is the system with the most ongoing
development.
mySQL has reasonable features, it's fast and has JDBC support. No commit/rollback,
though. mySQL is what I'm currently using. However, if I had found a JDBC
driver for postgres, it would have been the system of choice.
mSQL was to limited for me, but there is also JDBC support.
Installation of all three was no problem on Solaris.
