I second that. The Financial community is owned by Sybase.
Oracle is scoffed at...too slow...too pricey...too much fluff.
Oh, and apparently, the DBAs have attitude, and you need to buy
too many of them to keep the rusty garbage scow running.

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.
