I prize openness over pretty much everything else (as long as the tool does the job in the first place). Informix PostgreSQL MySQL -------- ---------- ----- closed open open does job does job questionable ability to do job Now, all things being equal, the choice would be between Informix and PostgreSQL as they are both able to do the job and have proven it. Of course, prizing openness, PostgreSQL wins out. Of course, since MySQL has not yet proven its ability to do the job (remember version 5.0 has only been delared production stable since October 2005), it is not even a player.
