As I am doubtful as to mysql working in Debian anymore (see below)
I need a database package that works for a change in debian.

Is postgresql more reliable then mysql or are there other viable DB's?

I've used MySQL since Lenny (I'm on Wheezy now) and I've had no problems
at all.

Not sure about postgresql since I've never personally used it, but I've
used MongoDB for my job and it runs well on Debian.
However, Mongo is a "NoSQL" database so it will be much different from the
*SQLs out there. Depends on what you need it for.

Yes, without a shadow of doubt.

Yes, though I haven't used them myself, PostgreSQL serving my
needs quite nicely. There are quite a number of alternatives;
google can help here.
