With Microsoft, you should be used to expensive ;)
Honestly though, in house we have used Informix and Oracle in our projects.
Informix is pretty nice and the JDBC driver is blazingly fast. The Oracle
driver is slower and does not handle BLOBs and CLOBs in a JDBC2.0 compatible
manner.
I haven't had the time or pleasure to mess with any of the other databases.
I really don't have a recommendation for you other than Merant--unless it
is possible to change database vendors. Informix is on the affordable side,
but is a PITA to install correctly (esp. on NT). PostgreSQL is also available
(for free I might add) and has a JDBC driver.
