Why not use something cross platform, like MySQL
http://dev.mysql.com/


It has the added benefit of being open source, so you're
not dependant on any vendor's "business decision" to stop
supporting your database engine, and hence, all of your
SQL files.  [Even thought MySQL was bought by Sun Microsystems,
which in turn was purchased by Oracle, MySQL will remain
GPL, open, and free (probably both "as in speech AND beer"
for the imaginable future, as long as a mere handful of people
are interested in maintaining it.
