We have recently blogged about the DB-Engines Ranking and how MongoDB was the only NoSQL store to make it into that ranking’s top 10. Today, this marketing platform offered by solid IT has announced MongoDB to be the DBMS of the year 2013, with PostgreSQL being a close runner-up, followed by Cassandra.
solid IT as a company is slightly biased towards NoSQL, so it’s not surprising that two NoSQL databases are in their top ranking, and the only successful ORDBMS in the market is number two. As we ourselves are “slightly” biased towards SQL, we would like to announce our own DBMS of the year 2013:
SQL Server is the DBMS of the year 2013
… because its SQL dialect Transact-SQL (which Microsoft “shares” with Sybase), is the first SQL-based programming language to make it into TIOBE’s top 10 programming languages.
Congratulations to SQL Server from the jOOQ team!
