What is your favorite Open Source Database

Mysql one of the best database software…

Other: I miss NoSQL-databases like CouchDB

I use my own for fast & efficient performance.
about 50% faster than MySQL [with full performance options] on my website. (Forum, download center, upload center, chat & etc…)

maybe, one day I release a public version.

ingres

its the player in my opinion…..

MySql FTW!!!!! Nearly everyone uses it!!!!
If you dont use Mysql i demand you use MSQL!

This is a very strange selection.

Development on GNU SQL Server has been stopped 6(?) years ago?

And if HSQLDB is included, H2 should be included as well.

iam very poor in java programming. But iwant to learn and want to become atleast a best knowldege person in java. Please suggest what type of books and materials ihave to refer.

this is a nice database.

this is also good database for small systems.also
good for new user.

SQLITE is also good database for small systems .

For me, it’s MonetDB/SQL.

INGRES is a runner up.

SQLite

Sqlite
Ingres

There are millions of systems which use Firebird

The link/URL for Firebird is https://www.firebirdsql.org

The link for Firebird is https://www.firebirdsql.org

Who in the world uses Firebird!?

Er.. more people than you would imagine…

Who in the world uses Firebird!?

It appears to be leading with a strong majority at this time.

For Linux users out there, they’d probably suggest MySQL, however I’m a big fan of MS SQL Server. They’re both based on the SQL-92 standard with a bunch of additional features added. Transact SQL is a reasonably easy instruction language to learn and with the introduction of the Management Studio Interface, 2008 Express Edition of SQL Server is easy to install and easy to play with (since for the most part, that’s the best way to learn Software).Really a nice post.
