Databases for Linux

Greetings all,
[Hopefully without sounding too much like one of those.. 
'win free money' emails]

See:
http://www.postgresql.org
http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess

I have just had another amazing Linux experience.. for those
with RedHat 5.1 and above (not sure about previous versions)
there is a tcl/tk front end to Postgres which makes it
look like MSAccess97 called PgAccess.
(type 'pgaccess')

The html help is comprehensive, 
(the one exception was that I 
couldn't find info on how to delete a table)

For those people unfamilar with Postgres:
- Relational SQL Database
- Client/Server [in the TCP/IP unix sense.. uses port 5432 by default]
- Comes with C and C++ client programming librarys (libpq, libpq++)
- Wide range of data types
- Easily extensible to new data types (including large data types).
and as mentioned..
- PgAccess (v0.90 in RedHat 5.1, Curr v0.91, Beta v0.92b)
