I wanted to add DB2and its sisters to the mix. I think that DB2 is one of the most
mature and well tested database system around. It scales extremely well from
DB2/2 or DB2/NT to DB2 on the mainframe and can handle huge databases with
outstanding performance. The new versions (2.x) are extremely powerful with
excellent tuning abilities and have great support for most of the tools (i.e ODBC)
as well as C++, C and most other common languages including COBOL and PL/I.
I have extensive experience with it and have very rarely been disappointed. IBM did start the RDBMS wave and I believe they still have a lot of the best people in this business.
