i dont have a chance yet to see db2 but yes to oracle
all i could say is,
oracle is very good. security, integrity....
the only problem is the price.
if you're only engaged into a small kind of business,
maybe you can consider other databases.

but for an enterprise, oracle must be it

Of the 3, SQL-Server will be the least expensive to buy, require the least
administration, and provide the most versatile service. On extremely large
databases (terabyte +), Oracle may be more stable. Neither DB2, nor Oracle
will run on a PC.

For the insurance purposes, you will require absolute security (because of
the liablity of containing personal information). Access is not a good
choice when absolute security is required. The best choice is not maintaing
the secure data locally, but having the major companies maintain it on their
servers. If you do need to maintain local data, I'd recommend SQL-Server as
the best choice because of the factors mentioned above.
