Which is the fastest database server amongst the above mentioned four if you expect an upward of 1000 people to access the data in one of those databases sometimes simutaneously?

I give up, go on, enlighten me.

More to the point, how much oil could a gum boil boil if a gum boil could boil oil ?

Oracle perhaps, but then, you need to pay expensive license, and then again, this is a question for slashdot.com!

Mysql should do that more than fine, I think the worst thing about it won't be the software running in the server, but the hosting itself, bandwidth etc, etc.

That is just gibberish to me.

I was asked this question during an interview yesturday and i said that oracle would be too slow for a web application.

Mysql was my answer.

The problem is that the company specializes in oracle products and training.But they also do web development using the linux/php/mysql platform...so i guesed i should go for mysql.
The truth is that i specialize in microsofts products that is vb.net and sql server 2000.But i didnt dare show my inclinations.
The good news is that i started out doing php/mysql development but that was a long time ago but it really helped
