While SAP does indeed have a database system ("SAP DB"), it is not a database
company. They even put their database system under the GPL and recently transfered
support to MySQL AB because it is not their core business. The main product is the
enterprise application software mySAP, while lots of customers still run the predecessor
R/3.
Nevertheless, SAP DB is one of the best open source SQL database systems, having
some features like updateable join views not even in Oracle's product.
