The following page may be useful : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems MySQL is dropped from some Linux distributions due to its restrictions and replaced by MariaDB : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MariaDB Dropping of MySQL is continuing among Linux distributions for new releases . The PostgreSQL would be best choice : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL I am not using any one of them , but my PhD ( in 1996 ) subject is "A Multimedia Information Management System" . Thank you very much .
