More than one studies have pointed out that people that live in the US are NOT the smartest people, so why not get a programmer from another country. if the price/quality is better I will do too

Oracle is overkill for small projects, I admit. However, for the larger projects (and the project in question according to the thread-starter is HUGE) Oracle is simply the best option. Fast, safe, stable - it can't get much better than that.

SQL Server may be one of microsoft's better products, but it still has serious issues. For one, it follows one of the major microsoft traditions - not complying with standards. Security isn't the best in the world either, following another microsoft tradition.
Besides that, the quality doesn't justify the price. Things you can do with SQL Server can for the most part also be done with MySQL or PostgreSQL.

MySQL is fairly good, and pretty damn quick. Unfortunately, it's rather simple and at times unstable (although that is most often not caused by MySQL itself but by the people handling it the wrong way).

PostgreSQL is more stable than MySQL, more secure as well, and in my experience just as fast as SQL Server at much lower costs - that is, it's free.

So, if you really need the best database available, you should go for Oracle, if not, PostgreSQL. There is no reason to spend money on the MS SQL Server.

Thanks for the recommend, if I can't get mysql as stable as I like on our new project I'll definitely have a look at PostGres.. I was actually seriously considering MS SQL, as I know it's a good product.

Cheers,
