I use PostgreSQL, for a few reasons: Excellent performance and scalability, good transactions, and easy to extend. My favorite thing is the Perl integration.
PostgreSQL supports an interpretted language called PL/Perl for writing stored procedures. What this is, is a perl interpretter running inside the plperl module, running the stored Perl inside a Safe.pm sandbox. The nice thing is, it's all open source, so you just edit the PL/Perl source to add functions to what can be used in the sandbox. Then, you can let the database itself dispatch your code for you. This is nice for a few reasons:
