Open database comparison

I'm involved in putting together a web server which needs a database
backend. My own experience with these things is at the outdated nitty
gritty b-tree level of the early 90's (e.g. Clipper, the CodeBase library).

The project is going to be SuSE Linux based.

Can someone point me to a *technical* (not relegious) comparison of
available open databases (mySQL, Postgress, etc.) vis a vis what's best
for what, performance etc. and other dumb questions from a mere
geriatric programmer ... RTFM's just fine ...

Same question but much less urgent, for commercial offerings like DB2
and Oracle.

Thanks
