Thanks for all your input. Yes, we had considered Oracle, but the cost ruled it out. Acutally, the cost of MS SQL also rules it out. I think the end result is going to be PostgresSQL. Again, thanks for the help.

The databases I am interested in are: PostgressSQL 7.3 MS SQL Server 2K Interbase 6 & 7 Sybase 12.5 Access 2K If anybody has any information, whitepapers, anecdotes etc on securing these databases, I would be grateful. PS I know that MS Access and security do not belong in the same sentence. The order came from on high to include this "as a comparison".
