From the trend chart, the top 15 database items have been marked in color. Here, we can intuitively see the popular trend of each database in recent years. For example, in this DB-Engines list, even though Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server have consistently ranked in the top 3. But in terms of development trends, the curve of Microsoft SQL Server ranked 3rd is actually going down, while PostgreSQL and MongoDB ranked 4th and 5th have been showing an upward trend.

As the PostgreSQL and MongoDB that have risen the most in the current DB-Engines list, we can almost see in the next trend chart that the curves of PostgreSQL and MongoDB and the curve of Microsoft SQL Server "converge". This is completely true. possible.
