also, the existence or nonexistence of .NET Framework drivers is probably irrelevant: most HR/payroll/inventory/etc developers out there are still stuck in the VB6.0 "old skool" mode and haven't done much .NET development yet.
the best bet would be Interbase/Firebird if you're going to be running on windows. mozcom has a lot of these installations out there (MS platform, Firebird DB). oracle and IBM DB2 are too complex for your average HR application.

If you like Oracle-like features and no limitations while still being
FOSS, I suggest you go for PostgreSQL.
Hope this helps. Thanks!
