Different Databases and their difference
MySQL is characterised as a free, fast, reliable open source relational database. It does lack some sophistication and facilities, but it has an active development team and, as it goes from release to release, more capabilities are added. At certain times there will be a trade-off between speed and capabilities, and the MySQL team intend to keep their database engine fast and reliable. By comparison:
PostgreSQL is another open source relational database management system. It conforms to the SQL standards much better than MySQL and runs on a wide variety of platforms, but the extra feature set slows and complicates its use.
Oracle is the leading commercial RDMS; it's highly flexible, runs on many platforms and has a full and sophisticated feature set. Because of its highly tunable nature, an Oracle database administrator needs to be well and heavily trained.
Microsoft SQL Server runs only on Windows platforms, which excludes its use in applications where there is a need to run on Linux or Unix, or potentially such a need in the future
