In my experience, we had an Oracle instance. It was really expensive. So I started to search for alternatives. The most similar free alternative was Postgres. MySQL got "disqualified" because was not real ACID. I'm talking 2010 or so... I'm not sure the current status. But take a look at it. ACID properties were very important, and for the kind of work we were doing, absolutely critical.
