SAP is agnostic of the underlying database. There are several databases for SAP systems available:

- Oracle

- IBM DB2

- SAPs own database "MaxDB"

- Microsoft SQL Server

The database chosen is a strategically decision usually made by the company. Oracle is a complex database, you have hundreds of parameters to tune and to speed up the system. SQL Server is "easy" in sense of administration but it may be difficult/impossible to tune in certain situation.
