I've always been impressed with Postgres; it's traditionally had a more
complete feature set (in terms of ACID compliance, support for advanced
queries, etc.) than MySQL, it has solid Windows ODBC drivers, and its
documentation scrupulously points out any areas in which it deviates
from the SQL standard. (All databases, it seems, deviate in one respect
or another, but Postgres is the only one I've seen that makes sure you
know when you're doing so.) I haven't tried the usage scenario you
describe, but I've had no problems running it on Linux and accessing it
from both Windows ODBC and Linux clients.
