You have two options really, first is non/cheap-commercial, the other is
fully fledged commercial.

As far as non-commercial/cheap goes, MySQL is quite good, as is
Postgres/SQL.

As far as commercial goes, take a look at Sybase for Linux.

This is pretty off-topic, so if you want further info, email me personally.
