About This Dataset
Database Popularity Scores — October 2026
October 2026 DB-Engines popularity scores for five selected database management systems. Values are from the published ranking of document stores with secondary database models included: several systems qualify through their additional document-store features. These are index scores, not percentages or measured performance. The year labels refer to October, not an annual average. DB-Engines updates its ranking monthly; this chart preserves the stated snapshot.
