Naturally, the choice as to which database engine to use is a crucial one. I'd like to stay away from the commercial database suites (i.e. Oracle) for the time being, however I will eventually move to it once the database grows to over 100M records. In the meantime however, I'm debating heavily between MySQL and Berkeley DB with a multi-threaded socket frontend. Suggestions and comments?
