Your favorite database engine?

Obviously Microsoft Access is the best but it would be cool to hear your opinion.

Out of the pretty small number of database systems I've used:

  • Postgres: Pretty standard choice, can't go wrong with it
  • MySQL/MariaDB: Also very safe choice, I feel like it's more feature rich than Postgres but I'm not sure
  • Oracle: It reeks of proprietary bloat and it's unnecessarily different than the previous two in some things, but you can get some official enteprise support if you're a company
  • Influx: It solves a specific problem (time series) but it's very cool, modern and with api support for many languages
  • Microsoft Excel: Obviously the best choice
