The best programmers in the world are either doing their own thing, or they're already employed by companies that are VERY glad to have them. Funnily enough, one of those guys (the only programmer I know better than I am) - was bored about 6 months ago.. I recommended him to Lensman, and Lens ignored my email. His loss. ;>

As for this DB war going on here, I'll contribute my two cents:

In my experience, Oracle is overkill for almost every project. Not to mention its ridiculous licensing prices and horrendously complicated setup. (I've never seen a db system before or since where we actually had to hire someone just to get the damn thing running.)

SQL Server is a nice DB. It's simple to setup, reliable and high capacity. It may not be as high capacity as Oracle, but few people would ever need more than SQL Server can handle.

MySQL is great, when it isn't crashing, as it does quite often.

PostGres - No idea there, was thinking about trying it but the reputation it has of being slow as molasses put me off.

Cheers,
Backov
