maybe u could consider some free databases?

of course the performance, functionality and the ease of use won't be comparable to MS SQL but many sites use such databases quite successfully

if u consider Postgres SQL and take a look at http://www.pgsql.com/user_gallery/ u'll see production databases ranging from 10GB to 150GB

if u consider SAP DB then u may take a look at http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/benchmark/HTML/SD_2_tier_4x.htm which contains some outdated benchmarks for SAP R/3 running on different databases and u'll see that SAP DB outperforms MS SQL in some configurations
