I use MYSQL or SQLite.

MYSQL: Provides a server based DB that your application must dynamically connect to.
SQLite:Provides an in memory or file base DB.

Using the in memory DB is useful for quick development as setting up and configuring a DB server just for a single project is a big task. But once you have a DB server up and running it's just as easy to sue that.

In memory DB is useful for holding small DB such as configuration etc. While for larger data sets a DB server is probably more practical.
