Top 10 database engines on db-engine... I never knew the top 3 were so far ahead of the game, if that site is anything to go by.

Basically the number of times a database technology has been searched for. Number of technical discussions. Number of jobs available and some of other popularity analytics from Google and Twitter @g-m-f

Postgresql is seriously underrated.I use it daily and find it way better than Microsoft IMO

I refuse to believe that SQLLite is this far ahead than ElasticSearch. This site must use totally different standards for ranking

Me too. I've been a bit of an ambassador for PostgreSQL in the last 5 years. Primarily moving people from oracle to PostgreSQL:) @bdhobare

Cant believe they forgot access.
#accessforthewin

More surprisingly, Access is top 10 haha @lue428

@varundey actually ruby and rails use sqlite as their default db, also some nodejs packages use it as a dependency library as well

HBase is the way to go if you wanna deal with Big Data

@bioDan every MVC framework uses SQLLite as default and its good for developing apps locally but it can just not be used in production. It is not scalable. There's a reason there is a 'lite' in the end ;)

MS Access #8 🔥👍😎

@varundey You'd be surprised to know that i know a company which is still using sqlite to serve their 200K users in production for using their SaaS product, and they pay a nice monthly fee to do so :)

I don't know much about DB's, but I bet they are not the only ones to use it. Not every product or service is for the masses and i guess sqlite is good enough for relatively "small" dbs.

@bioDan yup it's good for small transactions and I think the company must be also using some other db side by side. If you really need to use a SQL db, PostgreSQL is great and is highly scalable. For NoSQL db, there are many who serve the purpose out of which I have worked with Mongo, ELK and Memcached. All three are somewhat different and to be used in different use cases

@varundey i know what you mean, i've used mongo and postgresql as well. The company has a mongo db but rarely used, and also elastic search for in-app searches and queires. But all the user, server and app data was stored on the sqlite db.

I'm astounded that dbase is still around. I did a project for a clinic in dbase 4 for a college project.

Heck yeah MongoDB!

I wish Couchbase was higher up. I love Couchbase.
