When it comes to relational databases, I've mainly worked with just MySQL and a bit of PostgreSQL.
Some of the most popular alternatives include Oracle, MariaDB, SQLite, ElevateDB and lots of others.
What is your preferred choice when it comes to relational databases and why would you recommend it?
Microsoft SQL because of tooling and documentation. I like also PostgreSQL with its additional NoSQL features.
PostgreSQL is so feature rich
Always an interesting discussion topic!
Postgresql
MSSQL
I'm a TSQL fan (Microsoft). They provide free of charge the Microsoft SQL Express product. More than enough for a small buisness.
MySQL, for me maybe just because I grew up with it.
But it works, easy to understand and I know the queries from the top of my head.
MSSQL was allways one of the few MS products I really respected, especially it's tooling. However, lately it's Postgres.
MySQL, it was my first experience.
MSSQL because of customer support. lol. For OSS projects, postgreSQL.

Postgres, MSSQL took too much memory from my server.
PostgreSQL is my DB of choice if it comes to relational DB with the main reason being that it's so feature rich.
SQLite for local development and ease of use.
