The great majority of the Websites are database-driven. That means they register information in a Database, for instance the data provided in a Contact Form, or the Sales Data of an Ecommerce Site. There are several Database Engines in the market. In order to choose the right one it is necessary to consider mainly:

• Handling of the Database elements (Primary, Key Tables, Indexes, Foreign Keys,        etc).
  
  
• Transactional Support, the possibility to make 'Commit' (to persist the changes) to        actions block (like Adding and Modifying records), or Rollback (to return to the        affected records as it was before executing the Action Block).
  
  
• Performance, a good Response time for the different Database Operations.
  
  
• Problems Support.
  
  
• Good Interaction with the Programming Language.
  
  
• SQL Language bound to the Engine.
  
  
• Amount of data that is well supported.
  
  
  

When a Website on the Internet is developed, one of the fundamental stages consists of elaborating a good Data Modeling. That is, an adequate definition of the Tables, its fields and the Relations between the Tables, etc. This favors the Site Construction more efficiently as well as the maintenance stage to access easily to the relevant Data.
