[BUGS] [chat] OraSUN MicroDatabases

[Dean Hamstead]

I think you may have forgotten that IBM makes servers and also has a 
database (for better or worse) in the form of DB2.

My feelings are that mysql would be on the chopping block either way.

However there are still suitable alternatives in postgresql and firebird.
