Why spend thousands or even hundreds or thousands of dollars on a closed source application when you can get a comparable open source app for free? Even if you need commercial support, many open source programs now offer paid support that costs much less than the alternatives.
For this list, we looked for quality, open source alternatives to software that has a reputation for being expensive. Whenever possible, we included MSRPs for the expensive software, though in some cases, the pricing scheme is so complicated that it’s nearly impossible to pin down.
We published a similar list last year, and we’ve updated and expanded the list for 2011. If you have suggestions for next year’s list, feel free to note them in the comments section below.

Firebird Replaces Microsoft SQL Server Standard ($7,171 per processor) Going on 30 years old, Firebird boasts “excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers.” This community-based project isn’t owned by any commercial entity, but you can get paid support from a variety of third-party partners. Operating System: Windows, Linux, Unix, OS X, Solaris

Up to several months ago, I maintained the Firebird packages at Arch Linux (AUR).
Due to lack of time, I removed myself from that, allowing others to take over, bur no one have took the job including now.
Would any of you be interested in maintaining the packages in that distro ?
Please contact Ido Kanner

XMLWizard is a tool that enables you to easily import XML, CSV and flat
text files into Firebird databases. It supports different variants of
XML files with nesting, data stored as attributes, etc.
New features:
1. Nodes with XML properties can now be imported either as columns of
parent node, or a separate database table… or both (useful if you have
two tables in master-detail relationship)
2. XMLWizard can be started from the command line by specifying the
project file. If would then run INSERTs and/or UPDATEs automatically and
commit and close when done. This is very useful for batch tasks. For
more information about this functionality, use the command line to run:
xmlwizard.exe –help
3. Option to remove quotes from database object names (esp. useful for
Dialect 1 databases)
4. More verbose error messages when records cannot be imported
5. A couple of bugfixes for complex XML files
