Are you sure about quality?  Check out:

You can check out postgresql's on the same site but they are significally less critical.  
After reviewing this and talking to some other people i'm switching over to postgresql.  
I'm sure there is a place with mysql but I don't think i'd trust it for anything critical
unless you very confident your developers know what they are doing.
