Speaking of high-availability databases, what are the options? MySQL isn't
that great for farming. Oracle costs way too much.
The page at

lists
a number of "lightweight" databases for Java, including the Sleepycat's
Berkeley DB (though of course Sleepycat's product is quite a bit more
ambitious and complete than the others on the list). The W3C's JDBM
mentioned there now seems to be this sourceforge project:

Alan, have you looked at Sybase?
I have had great success with SAP DB. You can run it in Oracle mode which
makes it great for developers because you can develop locally.
You don't get all the functionality that you would with an Oracle db, but it will be a good indicator.
Not sure what the effect of coming under the MySQL umbrella will have.
