[dba-SQLServer] DB-Engines list of top 10 databases

Oracle will be in the lead for the foreseeable future, given that if money is not a major concern, its feature list,  ability to search virtually any data store; relational, hierarchical and so on and its capability to be tweaked and fine tuned, is unsurpassed. It is a techy dream. ;-)

But OTOH, much of the list is pretty static. Most companies once committed to a product tend to "stay the course" until they can not. That is why there are no real stats showing upward or downward movement among the top applications. It would be interesting to see is companies had the choice or need to chance their databases what would be their new choices?

*Top 10 database management systems, ranked on popularity, Nov 2014.
Source: DB-Engines <http://db-engines.com/en/ranking>* 1 *Oracle* 2 *MySQL*
3 *Microsoft SQL Server* 4 *PostgreSQL* 5 *MongoDB* 6 *IBM DB2* 7 *Microsoft
Access* 8 *SQLite* 9 *Cassandra* 10 *Sybase ASE*
A few things surprised me: that MySQL is ahead of SQL Server; that Mongo
has become so popular so quickly, and that Access is still in the Top 10.
