I've heard about that.  A gratis accounting application very promoted
here in Chile uses SAPdb as it's backend, and apparently the driver
manages to corrupt the data somehow.  It's usable now, and becomes
unusable tomorrow.  I wouldn't trust such a RDBMS, no matter how much
features has it got.

I also tried to compare it to Postgres, but the lack of documentation
didn't precisely help me get started, and it was only a hobby so I never
came to it.
