Hello,
during the last few years, PostgreSQL has become a viable alternative to MySQL. I am migrating gradually off of MySQL mainly due to Oracle's tendency to transform applications into monster applications.
PostgreSQL packages for Windows are available and many popular PHP packages support both in the meantime.

Best question ever  No problems here on windows 2008 R2. Switch was as easy as replacing binaries and mysql_update() |
