I want to make DB but I just know MySQL and PostgreSQL. Can you tell what kind of DB server? I want to know what DB server for make some web or for make some application (VB, Delphi).

An absolute plethora:

• DB2
• Oracle (though it still can't distinguish empty string from NULL)
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• SQLServer
• Informix
• Cloudscape
• SQLite
• Berzerkely db (yes, that's the Uni's true name)
• Firebird
• Ingres
• Apache Derby
• Teradata
• the NoSQL rabble (lumping all the non-ACIDs together)
• dBase II
• dBase III(+)
• dBase IV
• Access
• FoxPro
• Excel (I know, it's just that all managers treat it like one)
• flat files
• XML (yes it can be used as DB)
• Paradox
• Clipper
• Clarion
• R:Base
• DataEase
• DataFlex
• Advanced Revelation

(I may have missed some).

Now, do you have a specific programming question about any of these?
