PostgreSQL or MS SQL?
I'm looking at these two options, and was wondering about which one would be better for hosting a database that will grow to "take over" for a number of legacy systems including Access and xbase? Any other databases to consider?

I'm shying away from Mysql. I have a lot of experience with it. I need stored procedures. We can't afford Oracle.
The environment here is Windows, but there are a number of older systems that may be DOS. The apps are all pretty old, and part of my task is to port the code into something more modern.

The main appeals of PostgreSQL are that its SQL isn't weird, and that there's no per-seat licensing costs. The normal number of seats is around 5, but should grow, and could potentially surge to over 50 at times. Typical per-seat licensing looks kind of expensive to me. Also, if we re-sell portions of the work to our peer organizations, P is appealing because there's no licensing fees.

I'm interested in developing something that can be resold (or even given away) for job security reasons.

if you can't afford Oracle, you can use their free edition - Oracle Express Edition.

it's free like Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition.

and there's another alternatif like Firebird/Interbase, it support stored procedure, trigger, transaction and Events.
it's not common, but Interbase/Firebird is the first choice for Delphi programmers, and you can use it in PHP too.

if you want to choose between PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL, choose Ms SQL. but if you can get Oracle, choose Oracle.

additional :
MySQL ver. 5.0 support Stored Procedure
