I have a comparison of various DBMS products on my homepage:

http://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html

Note that I don't claim that list is complete!
I do try to keep it up-to-date and correct, but as I am primarily a Postgres and (unfortunately) Oracle user, there might be inaccuracies for other DBMS products.

I collected several blogpost regarding that topic.

Be aware: most of them are pretty old!
