Yes, but I think all three are under development.

I like Oracle much better, but we are looking at both DB2 and mySQL as replacements for SQLserver. There is an enterprise edition of mySQL under development so I would not just dismiss the product. It poses a potential market threat to Oracle, DB2, and SQLserver. If nothing else the product might help hold back the price of the major DB products, which would not be such a bad thing for the user base and those of us who make our living supporting them.
