1st Answer Example
"There are three main open source cloud computing databases. They are Couch, Lucid and Mongo. These differ from proprietary databases based on there being no licenses required to use them and the ability of the IT community to make revisions in them to improve their performance. Of these, I believe (insert the name of the one you recommend here) is best suited for most client's needs. Not only does it have the features they require, but they won't have to pay any licensing fees, and they can upgrade it at any time."

2nd Answer Example
"The three main open source cloud databases are Couch DB, Lucid DB, and Mongo DB. For most situations I recommend (insert the one you recommend here.) In addition to having experience with this open-sourced cloud database, I have also worked with Oracle and SQL. This has given me a good perspective on the differences between these such as licensing requirements, scalability, reliability and stability of the platform. I'm comfortable recommending this one to my clients, but if you'd like, I can also discuss either open source or proprietary cloud databases with them."
