No. Perl is perfect with ANY database.
DBI is the most wonderful thing in the world.

> tell me some good and bad facts about databases
- MySQL: Fast, free, nice tools / Toy Database
- M$ SQL Server: Hard Core, nice tools, cheaper than Oracle / Evil, only on NT
- Access: Easy to use, comes with Office / crippled by M$, evil, only on Windows
- Oracle: Can handle anything, looks great on the resume / Fat, bloated, ancient code base, Expensive as hell, pain in the ass to admin, not FreeBSD friendly
- PostgreSQL: Fast, free, Real RDBMS / Designed for Unixesque systems, hard to find Hosting
