Which rdbms database product is best, depends on your needs. MS-Server is realitively cheap but it only runs on NT. Oracle is available on UNIX, a big plus in my opinion, as well as VMS, MVS, and NT.

Oracle scales from a few users to 1000's of users and from a few hundred megabytes to terrabytes.

Oracle has solid backup and recovery procedures and functionality.

There are a lot of third party products for application development and reporting, and system monitoring tailored to Oracle available.
