Me to.

All of my database work is done in Firebird. A totally free enterprise 
ready engine that many commercial users are switching TO since recent 
price hikes to their contracts from Oracle. Migration is easy even for 
complex systems due to the fact that Firebird has similar internal 
facilities to Oracle.

Any data I have is managed in Firebird and will be downloaded from that 
source ;)
