Perhaps he meant best FREE db he ever saw? MySql works well for most
web apps. It's fast. It's free. Postgres is ok too. Lots of
postgres bigots out there. But if you're going to build an app based
on a free database, you'll choose the one that more people know about
and use. That'd be MySql right now.

Informix was better than oracle until IBM bought it to bury it.
Oracle has a better market share. That's why people use it.
