RDBMS are currently very popular, and many are available in the marketplace. The application that specific RDBMS are most appropriate for depends on the application’s requirements in terms of functionality, speed, security, cost, ramp-up time (the time it takes staff responsible for installing, managing, and working with the software to become proficient at doing so), and the ability to integrate easily with other systems.
