Most the hosting sites has MySQL, it offers good perfomance for little sites and that is enough

SQLite + PHP is a godsend. Seriously, MySQL really chokes old computers.

All sorts...

At work our SAP ECC06 system runs on IBM DB2 on AIX. I've used SQLite in various Perl projects (work and home) and for storing stuff on my desktop system. My Squeeze Debian systems all want MySQL installed even though I didn't ask for it.

At work we use a lot of different DB's but since the question was you, I pretty much just use mysql. Clean and easy to use.

We use several RDBMS but I must say that lately, due to the large number of records we manage, we started using partitioned tables on MySQL and we have discovered that they are incredibly fast, they manage automatically your index on all partitions and on top of it they are easy to maintain.

Finally MySQL is becoming enterprise ready.

SQLite! Fantastic read speed, and zero maintainance.

Postgresql is very difficult to install on linux systems especially Debian ... :(

MySQL on the other hand is very easy to install as well as to understand and work upon :)

? Not sure I agree. This is how I install mysql on Debian:

`apt-get install mysql-server`

and this, surprisingly, is how I install postgres. Again, on Debian:

`apt-get install postgresql`

So, if anything, it's simpler to install postgresql, because you don't even need to remember to add the extra "-server" bit to the package name.

Cheers

I much prefer Postgresql, and imagine that if you deal with multiple databases, Postgresql is a better choice.

But I thought I'd throw in that there is a project to port MySQL to the AS400 (iseries). This port uses the built-in AS400 database, which is DB2, as a storage platform for MySQL, but gives you the MySQL client.

The database purist might be horrified to consider using MySQL on a system that already has DB2, but the gain is of course compatibility with software that is built with MySQL. It makes it very easy to port MySQL-based software to the AS400, which is already running Apache by default, and can also run perl and PHP.

How can so many use MySQL?

Man, MySQL is a too bad database, not even a little enterprise ready. Please, when will someone see that?
Try postgreSQL and see the difference - postgreSQL is truly a database system.
