I used MSSQL up to MSSQL 2005 and MySQL up until about the same time. Around then I switched over to PostgreSQL completely and have not had a reason to go back. My biggest complaints had to do with simple replication and that was mostly solved in Postgres 9.0. Postgres is a damn fine database.

Well I am quite honestly bored of paying £240 a month per cpu licensing costs.

I have no objections for paying for licenses but it's just getting too much. They put their costs up recently from £180 a month to £240, when we tried to pass that onto a client they pulled their face, it's getting hard to justify the cost of running a web server on a Microsoft platform
