There is a company called Ovum that does independent assessments of technology. As recent as Aug 97, they did a comparison of six major database technologies, including IBM's DB2, ORACLE, Sybase, and MicroSoft SQL Server.
There is a web page providing a summary of the report at

The report is $2,100.
