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.

Thanks for the info ... I will definately try these products out! The only real problem I had with mySQL is the fact I couldn't use views or sprocs.
