Oracle 8.03?SQl Serveur?SQl Anywhere or Serveur (Sybase)?

Hi,
I have to choose a database to create an client\server application for a small network ( up to 10 clients ) on WindowsNT Server.

    On the server, there's a Calcul Engine which will get and put data in the database and on each client station there's either a interface for data acquisition or a management app.

    The Calcul engine is developped in C/C++ and the interfaces are developped in VB5.0 and VC5.0.

    Both client app need to work with the main database. The quantity of data won't be more than 1 Go / year and the number of rows on tables can reach 500 000 / year.
The whole system needs to be highly secure.

Which database will be more appropriate to this kind of problem? (for information, I'm the NT administrator, the application developper and i'll be the dba !)
I have a trial version of Oracle 8.03 wich looks very "hard" to manage.( It's the first day i use it)
I have also a trial version of SQLAnywhere 5.0. I've tried it for few weeks with VB5.0,optima++ and Delphi3.0. It seems to be quite good but maybe not enough professional.

For SQL Server from Microsoft and Sybase, i only have the data sheets and nothing else.

           Thanks
                           Benjamin
