The automotive company I mentioned previously chose IBM DB2 for their back-end for this very reason. They had written a test program which ran against test machines doing simulated processing. It kept track locally of what was sent to the machine, what was updated, what was reported as a successful write, etc.
They ran the same software on several boxes running SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySQL, etc. Through repeated testing, they would begin the simulation, then randomly unplug the machine from the wall in the midst of its simulated heavy processing.
The only machine that did not lose any data from what it had reported back as having been a successful write was IBM's DB2. They deployed the solution to all of their sites.
