Oracle remains most popular database, but MongoDB continues to rise
-
DB-Engines' rankings show Oracle is the database most talked about by recruiters and developers, but open source databases posted gains
I still think Excel is the most popular database around
-
"Looking for DBA's and developers to replace our way-to-expensive Oracle database." +1 for Oracle :D

Oracle has big market share in "big data" databases likes enterprises oder security agencies. Excel is more for home or small business users. I used to think that MS SQL Server is doing fine. :confused:

Yeah, I think SQL Server is doing fine. I doubt I'd ever use it again intentionally though (MariaDB and PostgreSQL are both good enough, IMO). I'd only use an Oracle product under duress (not counting MySQL, but that only because I'm lazy and that's the default for Wordpress). It may have changed since I last looked, but just count the Excel spreadsheets in big companies that are acting like databases - contact lists, project tracking, etc. etc. It used to be the free-form database of choice.

Hmmm... The method is flawed IMO. For example, DB-Engine calculates an index by (I quote) "searching for together with the term database, e.g. "Oracle" and "database"." Lets try it out: Google "SQL server database" => 35.4 million results Google "Oracle database" => 19.7 million results They also claim to look at google trends... So that's what I found in Google trends for December 2015: SQL Server database index = 42 Oracle Database index = 27 They also say they use Stackoverflow... SQL server Tag: 151708 Oracle Tag: 64616 Get the idea? It looks like Oracle is not as widely mentioned as they worked it out. (and that matches my experience of the market!) And my last point is that they are sponsored by Solid-It, a development/consultancy company who are in Java/NoSQL business stuff... enough said! conflict of interests springs to mind! This kind of article should be published in the Daily Mail (If you are from the UK you know what I mean...)
