Good stuff.
I know of a fair number of happy Windows MySQL users which meshes with
your position that it's politics that keeps a reasonable default choice
from being made. I honestly don't know enough about the PostgreSQL
Windows port to know if it's usable, but I think cozying up to both
MySQL and PostgreSQL would be a good move for OOo. Reinventing the
wheel (in Java of all things) would be the worst possible choice.
If nothing else fits the bill, MySQL at least, runs on GNU/Linux,
Windows, and Mac OS X, which I think is precisely the OOo target.
Oh and it runs on the mainframe now too, for those non-enterprise
mainframe tasks. (Ruben gets the joke)
