Which industry-class database has the most unique features? (with "unique" meaning that no other RDBMS has them)
I think my choice here is Oracle 11g:
and many others.

Funny, I rate vendors by their conformance with the ANSI/ISO SQL Standards e.g. for SQL Server my shopping list is deferrable CHECK
constraints that support subqueries and proper support for DOMAIN
s and ASSERTION
s -- and these date from as long ago as SQL-92. For me, vendors should put in proprietary features only after they've implemented the Standard ones :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems && http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_object-relational_database_management_systems would be where I'd start.
As to truly "unique" features? I've seen things I thought were unique that turned out to be common once I did more digging :)
