Regarding relational DB probably best solution right now is PostgreSQL. 
It is broadly available and has features that allow deployment of some 
O/R (object-relation) mapping using stuff like Glorp or ROE. However, 
your application will be "hardwired" with native talking to PostgreSQL 
using PGConnection class. We don't have any abstraction layer that would 
  allow you to replace database engine just by changing SQL dialect used 
in your app.
