Maybe this will answer your question in regards to database choice (directly from the wiki FAQ):
Spacewalk Architecture Why do you use Oracle? Any plans for supporting other databases?
Originally the Spacewalk code base was used as a hosted application and Oracle was a good choice for a hosted application in 2001. Over the years open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL have improved tremendously in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. We have not had the resources allocated in the past to add support for an open source database but want to do so soon.
And I expect PostgreSQL and MySQL will be options very very soon... :-)
