There are many aspects to consider:

How cost sensitive are you?

What licences are acceptable? GPL will stop you from making
your code proprietary.

What operating system? Windows? Linux? Several?

What's the system complexity?

Might an existing system fit? Perhaps with some
modification? Perhaps you should look at GNU Enterprise
or other systems available at freshmeat.net?

Is this a multi-user system?

Is there legacy systems to consider?

What's the experience of the developer(s)?
Languages? OOP?

Perhaps you should take a look at Twisted, which was
just released in version 1.0 after a long test period.
I hear people are very happy about it. It provides both
networking, database connectivity and other enterprise
aspects. http://www.twistedmatrix.com/
