[Bioperl-l] BioSQL

[Hilmar Lapp]

This depends on what you want to scale for: how many users hitting the 
database concurrently, average number and size of rows (or objects) 
returned per query, how much updating and loading is going to happen 
concurrently with queries.

While as an example Ensembl is powered by MySQL, other large databanks 
like the EMBL nucleotide database is powered by Oracle as Ewan 
mentioned some time ago.
