[OT]question about open source data base selection

Hi
I am working on a intranet project, we plan to use a
open source database, there wont be a lot of load on
it, may be a 500-700 records written or deleted per
day.
I would like to have a database which has features
like views, stored procedures, foreign key constraint
etc
Which would you guys prefer, and also which is a real
open source where i dont have to worry about license.
I have a list like
mysql, postgre sql, Ingres by CA, Derby from apache , 


Ashish

Hi,

from my experience, I can recommend PostgreSQL. It's quite easy to 
setup, it's reliable and has all the functionality you require (views, 
stored procedures, foreign key constraints).

As to the license: "And because of the liberal license, PostgreSQL can 
be used, modified, and distributed by everyone free of charge for any 
purpose, be it private, commercial, or academic."
(http://www.postgresql.org/about/)

Regards,
Tom

Aren't there varieties available, Dave, for MySQL?
