My recommendation would be mysql (http://www.tcx.se). It implements an important subset of the SQL-92 standard, and has proven to be very reliable and speedier than the others I've tried. > Is there one best overall package? That's very much a religious issue. If I wasn't using mysql, I'd probably be using postgreSQL - I've been pretty happy with it too.
