Please could someone explain what are the major differences between
PostgreSQL, Oracle 8i, DB2 and MySQL.

We are looking to start re-developing our accounts/order processing system
using a major database (we currently use a 4GL). We would appreciate any
constructive advise to help us make the decision on which database to use.

Thanks
Steve
