I think you'll find significant resources for MySQL and should choose that
route for normal database requirements. PostgreSQL is also available on your
RaQ (the configuration of the machine is contained within a PostgresSQL db),
but PostgreSQL is usually regarded as a more robust solution for high-end
application development needs. MS Access is not an option, as you MUST host
the mdb file on a MS platform; though it is feasible to use ASP code on a
RaQ to access a mdb file hosted on another (MS) box.
