        Here's my guide -

[Quoted] 	Oracle has 1 word, 6 letters, 3 syllables and starts and ends
	with a vowel.
	Sybase has 1 word, 6 letters, 2 syllables, starts with a
	consonant and ends with a vowel.
	Informix has 1 word, 8 letters, 3 syllables, starts with a
	vowel and ends in a consonant.
	MS SQL Server has 3 words, too many syllables and every word
	starts and ends with a consonant.

[Quoted] 	So, in summary, Sybase appears to be the word of choice. I
	would recommend using it in all situations. I would only
	recommend Oracle and Informix as words to be used in
	certain situations and MS SQL Server should only be used
	during extenuating circumstances.
