MariaDB. Relieved the anxiety of Oracle MySQL - and then some!

MariaDB, it stays open source, not like Oracle MySQL which becomes more and more obscure.

I've used PostgreSQL for half a dozen years. It doesn't ever seem to have an issue, even if the server dies. It is fast on even old, slow hardware and has been easy to work with. I'm not convinced there isn't a better db out there, I just haven't had a need to look.

I use PostgreSQL, Oracle, Unify (not in this list), MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, and CSV (not in this list  ) on a daily basis and convert data between them has become routine.
*ALL* databases suck in one way or another, but PostgreSQL sucks least of all. CSV is easy to port: every table is a file and can be hand-edited, but of course it is slow. Using perl with DBD::CSV however makes a set of folders with CSV files look just like a database and conditionally fill "real" relational database from CSV datasets suddenly has become easy.
For daily use? PostgreSQL!
