Does anyone have experience with or know of a web host that allows the use of MySQL triggers on shared (read "cheap") accounts?
I currently use Surpass Hosting and they told me this was a feature they won't support for security reasons.
Update
I've checked with bluehost, Host Monster, and DreamHost and none of them support triggers.
This is all due to triggers requiring the SUPER privilege. MySQL 5.1.6 will implement a TRIGGER privilege, which should alleviate the issue.
The only host I found so far to support mysql triggers on shared packages is placehost
I think most hosts that have mysql 5 or later will support triggers, but i have actually not used them with mysql myself.
Ive use Dreamhost for many years and alwasy been happy with them (http://dreamhost.com or http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?redpirk to give me credits ;)
if you send me short code snippet, i can test.
i've used nativespace.co.uk (affiliate link). very helpful service and setup triggers for me even though there wasn't an option to do it on the control panel.

I can confirm that namesco did not allow me to set up triggers on their shared hosting package.

I am writing a database application in C linux. Currently I work on mysql but later we might migrate to postgres. Therefore my boss has asked my to prepare the application to be able to use either of the databases(mysql or postgres).
Is there a free api which I can use for this purpose? Or any suggestion on how best I can do this?
The official answer to that is ODBC.
If you don't like that (and let's face it, no one really does), Qt has a database access module, QtSql. Obviously, this will require you to make heavy use of Qt in your application.
If you can find drivers for your platform, ODBC was supposedly meant to provide exactly this: a platform-independent way to talk to databases.
(I say supposedly because in my experience, ODBC is such a mess that hooking up to an ODBC driver once turned out to be more difficult than just writing the code three times for three different databases.)

Is there some ready off the shelf solution that would periodically connect to MySQL server, check for crashed tables and automatically initiate repair and/or send administrator an email?
MySQL has come up with a MySQL Enterprise Monitor web applciation tool that helps you to monitor the MySQL Servers. It can also be used to send an alert the administrators of errors.
I resorted to writing a simple Scheduled task that runs myisamchk periodically
It is not ready off the shelf, but very easy solution - every table crash is written to MySQL error log (usually .err in data directory. You can create very simple script that is awaken every X minutes and checks this log file (using tail -XXX command for example) for entries with 'marked as crashed'. Then it can alert in any way.
Is it crash a lot? if it is crashing a lot , I think you have to find the reason for why it is crashing. May be there is a hardware problem or another problems.

Say I would like to host my open source software by myself, i.e. not in sourceforge or google code but host my own svn and issue tracker and documentation on my server.
What is the best software for doing that?
A lot of people like trac.
Well you'd use trac + subversion server on your own machine.
But there is assembla.com, and also xp-dev.com, if you don't like the licensing forced on you by the websites you listed.
Redmine is a nice alternative to trac.
I would recommend to host with dreamhost or webfaction. They both offer hosted svn services. For documentation, you can go with mediawiki, if you want.
Note: I'm not affiliated with those 2 host, I just use dreamhost not webfaction, but from googling the net, I found out that webfaction is better than dreamhost.
Try BitNami packages for Redmine or Trac, they are easy to use installers that you can run on your server (there are also virtual machines available as well)

I am in the process of trying to graphically represent all of our server racks. So when we receive a new server we can decide where this should be put and where a specific servers currently resides.
Are there any existing software packages that stores this kind of data already? I'd prefer open source ones if there are any but anything would be helpful.
If you use nagios as monitoring application you could use NagVis to create custom status maps e.g. a rackview of your servers.
Example Screenshot
RackMonkey seems to fit your requirements too.
I had a look around at this and the solutions suggested (thanks Node) and at the moment my feeling are using one of the following:
NVentory though I'm not sure my company will want to use ruby and rails as this would be our first product using this
Rackview
Or more likely just MS Office Visio 2007 Add-in for Rack Server Virtualization however this looks like it only links to excel and hopefully I can use excel to query a database.
I will update when I have played about with these tools and see what they can provide.

I'm in the process of setting up a new website which would greatly benefit from having user-forums.
Since I already have user accounts, and profile details, stored away it seems that I'd benefit from choosing an open-source forum package which I could modify so that logins were tested against my existing database.
Right now all my site is Perl-based, and looking around I don't see many great Perl forums - the only obvious one I could find which is featureful is yabb - but that is written to authenticate against flat files and to be frank the code is nasty.
If I need to use a PHP solution then so be it, but first are there any simple forums that are written in perl that you'd suggest? I'd expect to have different forum-groups and nominate particular users as moderators. More than that I don't need, just basic threading and an attractive appearance.
Really simple forums are often really insecure forums. If you're determined to use perl, a major web forum doesn't come to mind, and if your competent in security I'd say roll your own. You could even release it to the open source community to help people like you. I know there are several great PHP ones out there that aren't so insecure an rather well developed.
I seem to remember that Drupal had a reasonable fit as a module.
