MySQL has support for transactions and foreign keys in it's InnoDB 
engine. In 5.0 it supports views procedures. Some people seems to hate 
MySQL :-) but a whole lot of other people like it a lot.

The thing is, if you don't spesificaly state that you want triggers, 
concurrency and procedures I guess that your needs are quite basic.

However you won't be be disappointed with either MySQL or postgree in 
your trunk :)
