At work we use MSSQL and Oracle, and having use MySQL because of my monkeying around with EqEmu we're switching some of the mssql instances to mysql!
I'm interested in people's choices of postgresql - what advantages does it have over mariadb/mysql for this project?
If you want "flatfile" then you can think of NoSQL databases like MongoDb/CouchDb, but that really depends on whether you read way more than you write, and I suspect it's more like 60/40 read/write? (pure speculation on my part). The bonus in NoSQL is that sharding is usually built in, or simple to implement - although I'm not sure how many eqemu servers host on multiple machines in reality.
