No. But the auditor that signs off on your financial statement is going
to tell you that if a DBA or System Administrator can make unaudited
changes they will refuse to sign. I saw that happen with a public
company here in Seattle last year. You've never seen such a scramble
in your life. The replatformed in 3 weeks.
The issue is not which product ... but rather the auditing and security
provided by the product. SQL Server, or perhaps more correctly Windows,
just isn't there yet.
There is a reason most large corporate line-of-business apps run on some
flavour of UNIX. It isn't just a desire to waste money.
