Seems, at a cursory look, to be a pretty solid intro to PostgreSQL. As @Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com commented, people sleep on SQLite. I think a lot of people skip SQLite because they think they need more. Hell, just about all my personal uses are covered with GNU recutils.

I hate admining PostreSQL, and groan when some app I want to use requires it. Don't get me wrong: in a corp environment where someone else is responsible for backup/restore and permissions, pgsql > *. Tooling for it is great. It has every feature. But if I have to maintain it myself, I'll chose a single file to copy and back up every time: sqlite FTW.

CloudNativePG with barman backups makes it quite manageable.

Yes. Not wanting to deal with more than a single file for backup/restore of your service?
Use kubernetes.

That doesn't quite track

Or SQLite for embedded systems, and a NoSQL for no-sql, and MariaDB for FOSS DB.

Did I forget anything?

And Oracle if you have way too much money just kicking around.

Even if I was a *illionaire I'd rather gargle lava rocks than touch Oracle with a mile long pole

if tpu give rhat money to oracle you are finding an extreme facist who believes our entire life should be recorded by the government and stored on oracle servers. he honestly said it will get rid of crime since you will alwaus be watched.
