You can use MYSQL / Postgresql for low end uses, too, not just medium or high end. They're not big threats, yet, to Oracle, but <A HREF="http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~nweaver/sapphire/" TITLE="berkeley.edu">MS-SQLServer</a berkeley.edu> is outta there -- high licensing fees, high maintenance cost, and insecure.
Note, you can do much the same with <A HREF="http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL.pdf" TITLE="unixodbc.org">MySQL / Postgresql + ODBC + OpenOffice</a unixodbc.org> (PDF, sorry) that you could with <A HREF="http://www.foxprohistory.org/home.htm" TITLE="foxprohistory.org">FoxPro</a foxprohistory.org>, <A HREF="http://www.filemaker.com/" TITLE="filemaker.com">FileMaker</a filemaker.com> or even crapply lil' MS-Access.
