Thanks Tim. I assume from this that there are no known differences in the support (I'm ↵ thinking of EPrints straight out of the box) compared to MySQL and the only ↵ EPrints related reasons (ie, excluding issues about QUT expertise and other ↵ organisational-related things) I would want to go with Oracle or PostgreSQL is ↵ they have had less testing and that any additional development we do might be ↵ constrained by the annoyances listed on the wiki. Does that sound about right?

Oracle/PostgreSQL aren't very well tested yet. Cheers, Tim.
