In my opinion de future of RoR is brilliant. It does certain things much better than other environments. Ruby is extremely powerful and flexible, which translates into an extremely powerful and flexible framework: Rails.
Java is a great language and incredibly robust for certain things but for web development, which is RoR's target, there is simply no comparison. For the few languages I know compared to RoR, once you have used RoR everything else "feels heavy" or unstructured, depending on the language/environment. MySQL is piece of cake to use with RoR. I have not used MS SQL with RoR but I've used it with Java. I guess that once you get the right adapter and everything is set up correctly it will work fine with RoR, like everything else. The other one I have used with RoR is Oracle and again, it was a bit of a pain at first finding out the right adapter and stuff like that but once set it works just fine. That's one thing that it is incredibly good about RoR, how easy it is to work with databases through ActiveRecord. I hope this helps.
