TBH, it wasn't exactly clear that upvoting was how you "voted". Thanks for the -1 whomever that was.
Next question, there's karma here?

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
Having Oracle as your db doesn't mean that you are not working on interesting problems First, I consider consultancy for customers using Oracle to be OK, as long as you earn something from it. But if your company chooses Oracle, it means that you're bogged down by legacy, stupid company processes and/or clueless managers. And in most such environments, the harder you try to change it for the better, the harder it fig…
I hope you realize that a company might choose to use Oracle for a reason other than "brochures and lap dances", and that a "legacy" decision to use Oracle doesn't necessarily mean you are "bogged down" or that the decision was stupid. I don't understand how using Oracle for your RDBMS is suddenly equated with all the things you mention.
Such as? Really, I'd like to know the reason for why a company might choose Oracle.

#113Voted "other".
We're using the App Engine master/slave datastore for getcloak.com. We're moving over to the HRD soon; the role of the HRD in App Engine's future wasn't clear when we started building our app.

#114SQLite all over the place – it's great having a super portable DB format for quick little hits. There's nothing quite like sending a DB as an email attachment.
Love SQLite when doing some Django development. Great to easily scrap the database with a quick `rm` and repopulate with good data.
I've been breaking myself of that habit: I try and use the flush command so I don't have to keep doing the superuser creation step.

#115If SQLServer is going to be referred to as "Microsoft" shouldn't MySQL be lumped under the "Oracle" grouping?
MS really only has one relevant offering in this discussion, unless you want to add Exchange as a document-oriented store.
It would not surprise me if MS Access were used at more companies than MS SQL Server.
I'll leave it to you whether you call it a database :-)

#116With new PostgreSQL major releases (latest one is 9.0 w/ embedded replication) its getting better and better. The community rocks and there are exciting new features coming to 9.1 (i.e. synchronous replication).
Full disclosure: My daily job is postgres developer/consultant and I love it :)

It's also worth noting that SQLite is, for the time being, the underlying store for Membase

#118SQL Server unfortunately. I was reminded why I hate it today when I was trying to set up a simple remote connection to the instance running on my new Windows 7 machine. TCP/IP enabled, IPv4 addresses activated and enabled, remote connections enabled, firewall disabled (for now), and it still didn't work! I tried introducing MySQL over a year ago only to have some hilarious emails with a senior programmer about how we…
If licensing and running on Windows would not be an issue, I'd choose SQL Server over Mysql any day.

#119You should add the Neo4j ( http://neo4j.org/ ) graph database to the list. Graphs are a much more modern and elegant way of storing relational data. I've used Postgres for over 10 years, but it's not a graph database. With graph databases you don't have to mess with tables or joins -- everything is implicitly joined. And Neo4j is ridiculously sweet -- store 32 billion nodes ( http://blog.neo4j.org/2011/03/neo4j-13-ab…

Same here. Voted other. I have a big database on the App Engine, and I'm moving more of my data from mysql to the datastore.
