No replacement for Oracle.

What's the backend RDBMS here on FR?

Of course, Perl is the glue but I wonder if the database access is via the DBI layer or if it uses the native APIs?

Oracle would be nothing without the original DB designers from Digital Equipment Corporation.

I would guess MySQL. Anything built around that time would used MySQL.

Some pretty prominent large scale sites are using MongoDB & CouchDB now.
