Lately, I've been dealing mostly with relational DBs and the project I'm working on is using MySQL.
I'm curious what database/-s do you mainly use at your work?

There's a few dotted around in some odd applications. We have:
I only support the MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis applications; but I have a project (starting next year) to migrate the applications on Access to something slightly more sensible.
Access is like mold; once it's in, you have to work hard to get it out. If you give people Access they will turn it into business-critical functionality, but without the support and testing necessary. The worst part is the inevitable "Why aren't you supporting this?"
The team who implemented it are very aware that it's not supported by IT, as are the directors. I work for a very understanding company in that respect. Any issues with that database are their own.
The team who implemented and manage that one are also the ones driving a build into a standard company platform. Mainly so their full team can use it at the same time. They have the business rules documented, as well as their processes, so they are well placed to help and test a properly built version.
Again, I'm really lucky with the business I work for.
I oversee several legacy projects and they all have different databases. I have tried several times to consolidate to a few but the customers and their requirements always seem to prevent it.
That's a nice list 😉 Do you see yourself as being specialized in the databases especially? I assume being competent in such a variety of databases requires a wide range of knowledge 😉
I know enough to be dangerous. I have a wide breadth of experience but do not claim to be an expert in any of these systems. My background is as a utility infielder... I worked for Oracle for a while (Identity and Access Management developer) so I am more comfortable with that.
My day-to-day software development is on an embedded platform, writing low-level development such as firmware, and other high-level development such as software application, UI Design and automation scripting. The database I usually use the most is just
NoSQLor sometimesMongoDB. But most of the time isNoSQLto store data collected from the sensors and many other types of sources.I love to bring the technologies from the outside of the embedded platform into the embedded platform.
Firestore is quick and easy.
If not, then MongoDB is the 'go-to.' If not, then SQLite for personal stuff or PostGres if necessary 😞.
Besides that, I really like the 'hybrid' SQL-NoSQL features offered with HarperDB combined with their front-end API so that we can get a lot done more easily. 🤓
Pretty much exclusively Oracle (since I am an Oracle Engineer) my work has everything from 9i to 19c albeit I only really look at 12c and above these days. I've dabbled in PostgreSQL a little and MySQL/MariaDB in the past
I love using HarperDB. Simple to use, supports SQL & NoSQL. I may be a little biased though...
Mostly postgres for self-hosted applications, and faunadb for serverless and frontend
PostgeSQL, CouchDB, IndexedDB, ElasticSearch
Well we were using MySQL but right now we are currently migrating to Dynamodb
Might I ask some of the reasons behind the migration?
We needed to build a delta functionality and we can't do that with the mySQL db since our platform is hosted on AWS, hence the migration
MySQL. I never use other.
