Hi,

What DB features do you need?? mySQL is ok if you don't need
transactions (COMMIT/ROLLBACK) and foreign keys. If you need then, you
should use PostgreSQL (IIRC it's not much bigger than mySQL and it's
"more" SQL compliant than mySQL).

You should be more than OK with 1.6GB (unless you plan to have a VERY
BIG database).

Hope this help you.
