I agree with Peter's suggestion. I would also suggest googling "how well does [databasename] scale?" So, you could check on MySQL, PostgreSQL (my personal fave), Sybase, Oracle, object DBs like CouchDB, MongoDB, intersystems (Caché), .. etc... You might also want to go really crazy and look at multivalue databases like universe/unidata, and objecache, etc. etc.
