What are you trying to accomplish with this database?

Is it supposed to be the repository and record for everything the
organisation does and all the data the organisation generates, or is
it somewhat more focused than that?

For a general purpose database that you are going to use for
accounting and recording large amounts of custom data, I would suggest
PostgreSQL which has a fairly large number of programming interfaces
available and is relatively well known.  And there are several people
on this list who use it professionally.

see http://postgresql.org

It will run on OS X or Linux.
