Hi :)
Lol!  I liked that post.  Very funny.  

I thought PostgreSQL was for large databases?  Also i thought Firebird was supposed to be quite 
good?  I think that really is a large one though so possibly not what i am looking for.  I'm hoping 
it is because i think one of my bosses is buying a front-end that uses it and i was hoping to use 
the same back-end for other databases.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I have heard that corporates love to have their valuable data in java
based backends

That's because corporations are intrinsically dysfunctional organisations
that promote opportunist egomaniacs who have no competence in any other
field than careerism into those positions where they can cause the
maximum damage to the entity.

FOSS projects shouldn't try to mimic corporate pathologies.

but is there something safer that is still good for smaller amounts
of data?

There's no (FOSS) RDBMS that beats PostgreSQL. And LO has a native
driver for it.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
