I use PostgreSQL on Windows. For me, anything else isn't worth the
brainspace now.

If you are looking for something nicely self-contained and
cross-platform I think Firebird is probably worth a look. I haven't
looked at it for some time now but when I was looking for a dbms which
would be seamlessly stand-alone for single-user apps and client-server
in a network it was the only sensible solution. Everything else required
separate installation and setup for the dbms in a single-user
environment. It would probably work on a smartphone.

I don't know how the Firebird Django backend is progressing but when I
last looked it seemed well advanced.
