The only reasonable number that I can think of to relate the price of a database to is the price of all the data it contains. Since for most corporations it would mean going out of business if they loose their data, paying something like that is an easy choice. > Anyway...

If it has the features you are looking for it is probably the best choice. Personally, I can not imagine a single case where I would want a relational database without for instance full referential integrity. If it really is not that important to maintain the relations between your data, why store it in a relational database at all?
