While these are considerations, they may not nessesarily be a good way to
determine the right choice. If this is your first RDBMS application and the
application is not huge, your choice may work out and you'll gain some 
experiece.

The best idea is to write the application as idependtly as possible from the 
specific database being used. That way it is far easier to shift later, if
that becomes nessesary.
