Hi,
We are going to start SAP R/3 new dimensional products implementation. Client wanted to know that which backend databse is very much compatable for SAP.
If some one have much idea on that can please help different comparisions on SAP On Oracle / SQL .
Thanks

All SAP supported platforms are compatible. It's up to you to decide what RDBMS is the best:
1) Oracle is stable, scalable or most often used by SAP community (~70%) especially for large organisations. But expensive in licenses and slightly more complex to manage compared to SQLServer.
2) SQLServer is cheaper for small companies. Closely integrated with Windows. So if you're a Windows shop, you should select this one.
3) DB2/UDB is a good choice, but I have doubt whether it's there to stay. Only ~3% usage in the community. It's relatively cheap if sold with pSeries bundle. Run&Maintain is well intgrated in SAP and TSM.
4) MaxDB. Different beast. It's cheapest of all; but not many organizations are using it.
