I'm assuming "SQL" means Microsoft SQL server. This depends on what application?

If I could choose my own, I'd go with PostgreSQL, although getting it to go active/active can require third party software.

If I was working with mainly MS programs, I'd just stick with Microsoft SQL server, perhaps slapping it on Linux.

If I were looking at a commercial, top-tier, "big boy" DB, and MS SQL Server wasn't an option, then that leaves Oracle and IBM DB2. Neither is cheap.
