Which databases are the most popular in 2006-2021?

What are the most widely used and popular database management systems (DBMS) in the world? How have they changed since 2006? Recently, the statistics&data website analyzed the most popular databases from 2006 to 2021. The data refers to the TOPDB top-level database index (the TOPDB top-level database index is created by analyzing the frequency of the database name being searched on Google).

Top 15 most popular databases in 2006-2021

What is the world's most popular database in 2021? According to DB-Ranking data, Oracle database ranked first with a value of 30.2%, almost twice that of MySql (MySQL with a value of 16.65%), and SQL Server (with a value of 13.21%) in third place. The values of the first 3 databases are added together to exceed 62% of the total. Microsoft Access ranks fourth (value about 9%), starting from the fifth place, the value of the database is less than 5%.

Interestingly, Oracle's percentage value is similar to 15 years ago. In May 2006, Oracle had a value of 31.8%, and MySql ranked second with 24.5%. In 2006 alone, the value of these two databases exceeded 55%. The third place in 2006 was Microsoft Access. It can be seen from this that Microsoft Access has dropped from 17.6% in 2006 to 9.07% this year, and its global popularity has almost dropped by half.

Which databases are the most popular in the DB-Engines ranking

Just now we saw the most popular database ranking based on the TOPBD top database index, so if you choose the DB-Engines Ranking, will the world's most popular database change?

According to the DB-Engines ranking data in May 2021, the top database is still Oracle, followed by MySQL (1236 points) and Microsoft SQL Server (992.66 points).

According to the DB-Engines ranking data in March 2021, the top 3 positions have not changed, namely Oracle, MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. However, the fourth place is inconsistent: the fourth-ranked database in the DB-Engines ranking data is PostgreSQL (549.29 points), and the fourth-ranked in TOPDB is Microsoft Access.

Interestingly, in the DB-Engines ranking, Microsoft Access barely entered the top ten (118.14 points), the score is only one-tenth of the first Oracle.

Which databases have grown the fastest in the past year?

So in the past year, which databases have developed better and which ones have been worse?

Let's look at the situation of top50 databases. Microsoft Azure SQL Database, PostgreSQL, Mongo DB and Snowflake grew strongly: Microsoft Azure SQL Database grew the fastest, achieving a 35.44% growth, and Snowflake also achieved a 20.77% growth. In addition, among well-developed databases, we have also seen Google BigQuery, Redis, and Amazon DynamoDB, with growth rates ranging from +8.51% for BigQuery to +6.38% for Amazon DynamoDB.

On the other hand, the three databases with the largest decline are Microsoft SQL Server with a decline of 82.55%, Oracle with a decline of 18.91%, and Hive with a decline of 9.34%.

Overall, although the percentage value has declined compared to March last year, many databases are still at the forefront of the overall ranking. In fact, the top three databases Oracle, MySql and Microsoft Sql have all declined in popularity.
