I looked at SAP about 6 months ago. I don't know what MySQL has done with SAP since they took it over, but I found SAP to have limited (and poor) documentation, was difficult to setup, was a source-code nightmare (it's written in more than one language, and uses a pre-compiler to unify the source-base before compiling), etc. I found SAP to be inpenetrable, and I'm an Oracle DBA (Oracle itself is often considered overly complex).
I would suggest PostgresQL before SAP if you want the triggers, views, and stored procedures (assuming you don't want to pay for Oracle).
