Well, there's an (ancient) 8.1.5 which NTT got certified at EAL1
back in 07.

You can go here: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products/
and expand "Databases" to see it.

It seems like there are some proprietary forks on the list
as well, at much higher levels (EAL4+); but I guess these
forks have diverged quite a bit.

I guess I'd be somewhat surprised to see the community
version on the list, since Wikipedia claims that getting
such certifications cost millions even back in the 90's.
