Open source databases are rapidly multiplying - like lemmings, tribbles, or most insidiously: bunnies.Some of these databases are relational - supporting some of the same SQL features as Postgres, but with different project goals. Other database projects were developed to meet particular needs - performance, embedding, column-store, making databases easier to use, and just for fun. This talk with provide an overview of the motivation behind each project, key developers, current database features and future plans.Who knows how many projects there will be by the time LCA happens, but here's a short list of what will be included for sure: SQLite, MySQL (MySQL, MariaDB, XtraDB), Drizzle, CouchDB, Firebird, Ingres, Apache Derby, MonetDB, Cassandra, MongoDB, HyperTable
