Top 5 Databases

[bentley coup]

Hi guys, I am a technology student at SEARK college. The only databases we have worked with so far is Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and of course Access.
I like MySQL the most it is so easy to use and is very powerful.
Can you guys tell me the top 5 or 6 databases out there?
I really would love to learn information on all of them.

you should probably add postgres to your list of open source db's to study.
oracle is one of the major commercial players...
