go check out tally.distributed.net !  Its a huge database that uses
sybase.  nugget@distributed.net runs it.  He has said that he suggests
that sql server for anyone who wants something "production-quality".  I
havent used it (as I use mysql for some lame stuff) but from what I know
sybase is a pretty respected name in SQL circles.  Sounds like MSSQL was
built off of an old version of sybase.. then windowsified.  (whatever kind
of word that is.)
