Fully ACK on giving the backend more thought instead of automatically staying MS.
On MySQL: probably still the most used OS DB-backend, but for me the negative points are:
mostly used by stand-alone in-house dev groups,
compared to PostgreSQL almost unanimously used by 3rd party dev systems:
Servoy, Alaska (xBase++), xDev and a few more as the basic "free install"
MySQL SQL only compatible mostly to forks like MariaDB already eating into their percentages -
with PostgreSQL you have greater similarity to Ora (or DB2, if their alternative SQL is used)
MsSQL at least gives you more Sybase compatibility - not a thiing to sneer at if you also consider Sybase Advantage,
but no heavyweight free solution.
MySQL licensing not too clear - and being a part of Oracle is another thing I'd worry about ;-)
