We (my partners and I) have been using mSQL in the past and have ported to MySQL because it provides more functionality. It's less complex than Oracle and others, but it does run on linux or FreeBSD. We are using it to support a web-based benefits enrollment sytem <www.webenroll.com> of some 100 files with upto millions of records. We are in the middle of porting all our code to the MySQL now and our port has actually made us more efficient becasue of MySQL's better implementation of SQL-92. It does support Blobs for some limeted Object architectures. check it out at <http://www.tcx.se/> -calvin www.seriousdata.com
