Becouse i'm interested in see if they will support
other database (My SQL) I quote this part:

"
Where do you see your project going?

Database independence is a big issue. We are currently
based on Oracle to provide the 100% availability
required for the backbone of your business. Also, when
we started, application servers were less than
reliable and functionality in the database still
provided the highest performance. Compiere is easy to
port to IBM's DB/2, but the demand is more for Open
Source databases. We negotiated a special license with
Oracle and removed the usual cost factor for an Oracle
implementation with our support contract, which
includes all licenses for just US$1,500. 

The next generation of our core engine will be
database-independent and just require ANSI SQL, views,
and functions. The Compiere application server (based
on JBoss) has been proven stable enough to be used in
small business environments with no IT staff. We are
using database independence to improve our core engine
to completely implement the OMG workflow facility.
With that, we gain higher flexibility (workflow is
usually just an add-on in ERP) and performance
benefits. It's then a user decision what level of
stability and performance they require from a
database.
