Keep in mind when you say "cost of operation" that also means the cost of
making a change including rewriting most of your custom code. I'm not privy
to the decision making in financial companies but I assume a decision based
on 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' would be different from one based on 'if
we were starting fresh today'.

Interesting to note that a good number of financial companies -- who
make a living off of fast, stable databases -- use Sybase. They tend
to prefer it for its combination of speed and cost of operation. None
of them store recipies on it that I know of, nor do they allow their
grandmothers access to the systems.
