I suspect SQLite is the most used database out there - given that it
is on every Android and iOS device<br>

Remember MySQL being GPL means you can't ship it with your app -
unless you open source your app or pay for MySQL. Both Firebird
and Postgres are the only two "main" fully open source databases. <br>

There is of course SQLLite but that is not a client server

quite widely used, but not a "real" DB by most terms.<br>
