MySQL for me, tried and tested

Doesnt mean anything if you haven't tried the others. DB was too complicated MySQL was too goofy Postgres ends up being winner.

I think MariaDB should be it, but did not test yet to be sure.

MySQL is all I know - and not even that very well.

Would have liked to see Virtuoso here.

Why is InnoDB listed. Its a pluggable storage engine for MySQL not a stand alone DBMS.
As of MySQL 5.5, its the default storage engine.

I've updated the wording to "InnoDB Plugin", to reflect the fact that it isn't the built-in InnoDB.

Running MariaDB now with no problems. Compiled sources for X86-64 under slackware-64 13.1 current.
