I'm looking for a database product that will compile and run on
a BSDI box. It must have SQL, and ODBC

Preferably not mySQL or mSQL... but not as expensive as the Oracle and
Sybase solutions.

Better yet we are looking for a complete Web Development environment
that is not done by embedding tags into html pages.  Something along the
lines of WebBuilder, but not as overblown as PowerBuilder.

Our main problem is finding a 'good' (read not 'your on your own if you
have problems') database that will run on BSDI and do ODBC.

Thanks in advance for any help.
