Heh, here's a smattering of some DBases no one's mentioned:

Conetic cBooks
This is a database specifically designed for billing purposes. It's not relational. It's not SQL. It doesn't have anything written for DBI. You access contents of its tables using either some closed-source command-line programs they give you or through a grace language that is a bastard hybrid of Pascal and C. In short, it's not pretty. Our company has a module that we use that works as well as one could hope, but this database is my biggest reason for wanting to learn XS.

DB2
IBM's relational database is supposed to be as good as Oracle's server while being a lot cheaper. I actually don't have any experience with it, since we're currently deciding whether to go with it or Oracle. I'm personally leaning towards DB2 cause I'm fairly DB agnostic. I've been doing things with mySQL for years now that we really shouldn't be doing.

FileMaker Pro
May this never happen to me again.
