SQL is a fairly common standard that’s been around for a few years.
Postgres is an open source product that has some traction, and even if it disappears next week you still have the source.
Linux is starting to catch on and you can even find places that support it.
The POSIX layer is widely implemented and even Windows and Mac have sone level of support.
What I’m saying is, you can choose from a wide variety of databases on pretty much any common OS and most of the features will just work on all of them.
Minor versions of a single database on different flavors of the same OS are not a big deal.
