definitely mysql

Firebird !!

for the pro-Firebird crowd out there... I'm curious about the pros/cons vs. postgresql. If you have a link to another thread or site with that kind of info, I'd be interested. The ones I found during a casual search were several years old and generally didn't lean in favor of Firebird in a side-by-side feature comparison.

SQLite. More and more it replaces regular text files that are used by applications.

MySQL for its amazing performance on huge tables. I believe MariaDB should be the same, so I was going to try moving my dbs to it, since MySQL development road has changed after the Oracle purchase. But I found that, at least on Debian, MariaDB is much bigger than and depends on MySQL packages. So I stayed with MySQL at least during the Wheezy release.

My vote goes for PostgreSQL... The one which I mostly preferred.

Using Oracle, MySQL both but +1 to MySQL

Mysql, it's what I use everyday.

One that is still used today not list is Sybase, perhaps I am the only one left. ;)

Jeeze!! All these one post only votes for Firebird. Why is it every year the Firebird schills crawl out of the woodwork? Nobody I know actually uses it...lol...

It depends on the country. For example, Firebird is very used on Brazil.

Also in Russia is quite popular
