Most Preferable Web Database

Hi,
I am currently working on a project that would require me to setup a database to store important information about account IDs and such. It will store the information automatically as users perform actions on my website.

What would be my best choice? MySQL?

Thanks

    Depends on your platform, requirements, etc. MySQL is probably the most commonly used, but have a look here for a comparison of the top 5 most popular databases: Top 5 Best Databases

    And Amazon now also has the NoSQL database-platform available for use...

    MySQL is easy to setup, provides good performance. On the other hand postgresql is more feature rich and more SQL standards compliant but hard to get a hold for a new user.

    It depends what you're working on. If you're working on something that you will be using for yourself then choose what works best for your project. If your working on something that many people will be using/installing on their own servers it's probably best to use what's commonly used (i.e. MySQL).

    MySQL is the best database paired for PHP. I used MySQL for 3 years and got no problems at all on my web applications.

    You can also use NoSQL or PostgreSQL if you want an Oracle-like environment.
