I've used all the products above except Jetty. Never heard of it. I gotta admit mySQL surprised me ... never used it until about 6 months ago (for a small web project) ... not too bad ... SQL Server may have some tuff competition in a few years!

You might like Jetty alot. It is just another flavor of tomcat but alot easier to set up. It has its place. You might try it. I like PostgreSQL for serious SQL work. MySQL is used alot because it is quick and widely available. PostgreSQL is much more standard SQL and has lots of high performance features now-a-days. Its has had pretty weak GUI until recently but now the tools are all in place for a good experience even on Windows based servers.
