An extremely important thing to keep in mind when choosing a database is how
well they scale. If you are working with a handful of records locally, you
arent going to notice a huge difference between databases.

When you go from a local only to a network database, it is a huge step, and
if your database wasn't designed from the get-go to account for network
issues its likely not going to do it as well as those that do. Likewise,
handling thousands or millions or records, you really notice a difference.

And those are just performance issues, before getting into the general
goodie bag of features :-)
