Announcing SQL Server on Linux
I thought Oracle or even db2 would be the Gorillas for serious corporate/goverment databases, and MySql would be the Gorilla for cheap + web stuff.
I suppose Microsoft is pretty popular in beetween those 2 markets.

Oracle IS the gorilla, but with their recent pricing/licensing moves, more large orgs are exploring moving to SQL Server, especially ones that are already a Microsoft shop. My company is doing just that.

Why not explore PostgreSQL? You would be free of licensing/pricing moves.

Not GP, but I've found SQL Server significantly easier to both install and manage. Performance-wise I've yet to encounter a significant difference.
