Agree, I was asked to "pick my own poison" from the open source world a few years ago, before EnterpriseDB exited. If you are going to use an open source db I'd highly recommend PostGreSql over ALL of the other offerings out there, particularly MySql.

We use Postgres for a small application and I evaluated EnterpriseDB earlier this year for its replication functionality so that we could replicate transactions from the primary Production database server to a failover server. I did a basic functional test, not a smoke test. I was able to install it and set up the replication without much heartache. Their technical support was quite good especially compared to a similar company's product that we evaluated.
