I've heard about that. A gratis accounting application very promoted
here in Chile uses SAPdb as it's backend, and apparently the driver
manages to corrupt the data somehow. It's usable now, and becomes
unusable tomorrow. I wouldn't trust such a RDBMS, no matter how much
features has it got.
I also tried to compare it to Postgres, but the lack of documentation
didn't precisely help me get started, and it was only a hobby so I never
came to it.
