Sai, When you mentioned MySQL and Oracle - are you comparing MySQL to Oracle Express Edition or to Oracle Standard/Enterprise Edition?
Basically, SQL Server is cheaper than Oracle generally speaking, so I am not sure if Oracle would be a consideration for you if SQL Server is not. Under those constraints, you are most likely better off using MySQL... all the databases you mentioned have native .NET drivers that are fully managed... http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/net/ Additionally, another factor that would influence choice would be your operational requirements. Are your transactions mostly READS or do you have complex transactions? Cheers, Zubin.
