I'll recommend checking out the free Sybase ASE engine for Linux -
http://linux.sybase.com and Sybase JConnect ($495 list with free eval,
http://www.sybase.com/products/internet/jconnect/). My tests have shown this
combo to be three times the speed of MS SQL for ecommerce type transactions.
In the case of a simple SELECT or UPDATE communication overhead kills you
with MSSQL.
Good Sybase Perl DBI drivers are available. Also, Sybase and MS SQL server
are very compatible since they were the same product at one time.
