I'm no RDB expert, but we've been using MySQL under Linux for well over
a year and are quite happy with it. We just got an Xserve running OSX
server and I've successfully moved it there and have it running with
PHP & Apache. It took some effort, but it was done. Hopefully, the OSX
server system will become as full-featured as their ads say so then this
will become a more viable option...

shareware
author I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a solution or
pay per
usage royalties (as the accounting for this would be too complex). Here
are
a brief list of requirements, most important first:
- No runtime license requirements
- Ability to hold globs of data each of which is around 100-200K +
metadata
- Ability to handle around 10,000 rows of data and be quick to sort
- Transparent to the user, no separate applications (although
background OK)
- Not too expensive (did I mention it is for a piece of shareware ?)
Other things that would be great but not essential:
- Full text search (like iTunes !)
- Ability to open multiple DBs (user, computer, network) and show a
unified
view
