Another DB with spatial extensions: http://postgis.refractions.net/ "PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object- relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as compliant with the "Types and Functions" profile. "
There are GIS extension for DB/2 and Oracle too.
