Not to start a religious war here but the feature set of all of the
open source RDBMS products makes them only suitable for the kinds of
projects one might reasonably do in MS Access. For example there isn't
a single enterprise application that runs on PostgreSQL and my personal
gold standard, dice.com, currently show 17,535 Oracle jobs and only 211
PostgreSQL jobs. If the point is to pay the mortgage you might have
better odds forming a rock band.
