    <p>So far no one has mentioned PostgreSQL as alternative to MySQL on the relational side. Be aware that MySQL libs are pure GPL, not LGPL. That might force you to release your code if you link to them, although maybe someone with more legal experience could tell you better the implications. On the other side, linking to a MySQL library is not the same that just connecting to the server and issue commands, you can do that with closed source.</p> <p>PostreSQL is usually the best free replacement of Oracle and the BSD license should be more business friendly.</p> <p>Since you prefer a non relational database, consider that the transition will be more dramatic. If you ever need to customize your database, you should also consider the license type factor.</p> <p>There are three things that really have a deep impact on which one is your best database choice and you do not mention:</p> <ol> <li>The size of your data or if you need to store files within your database. </li> <li>A huge number of reads and very few (even restricted) writes. In that case more than a database you need a directory such as LDAP</li> <li>The importance of of data distribution and/or replication. Most relational databases can be more or less well replicated, but because of their concept/design do not handle data distribution as well... but will you handle as much data that does not fit into one server or have access rights that needs special separate/extra servers?</li> </ol> <p>However most people will go for a non relational database just because they do not like learning SQL</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
