common database platforms

Out of interest, what are the most common database server software you have installed in your environments. I have seen a lot of SQL Server and Oracle, are they generally perceived as the most common, or are there any others you find quite often where you work? the vast majority of our servers are windows but there are a few linux as well.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years.

I use this page to check rankings:  http://db-engines.com/en/ranking   The top 3 are Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.  They are far above the rest.
