It is true that there are quite some open source free DBs out there. They, however, are for different people, or types of applications. If you are a PG guy, you may not be too keen on MySQL.

What I know is the opposite. SAP DB is very easy to install, at least on Windows.

Since I don't know this, I won't say anything about it.
