Subject: Database choices?

Hi ..

Part of the project I am embarking upon will require an SQL database.
My personal favourites are Firebird and SQLite, however I am not going
to rule out either MySQL or Postgres.  However, given that I am a stored
procedure fan, my focus is on Firebird.  

I was wondering if anyone has any comments on the maturity of the ruby
database bindings or any other helpful insights.  As some basic
parameters:

 Data storage: small-moderate (~100Mb)
 Updates:      approx 5min intervals
 Users:        small (10-15 conns)
 Interface:    web + scripts (pref via stored procs)
 Platform:     Linux / FreeBSD / Solaris / HTML clients

TIA,
