There isn’t a one size fits all database. It really depends on what you want to do
I'm gonna try to port a discord channel over to Matrix, never attempted anything like it before.
Also, if you use a database for literally any specific reason, then feel free to answer the prompt with that information.
Are you doing that as a challenge? Because there are multiple tools that do that already, discord/matrix bridges are a dime a dozen
I'm not making the bridge, just a database. Some other users have informed me that as long as I can use Docker or equivalent then running the compose will generate a database on its own, which was news to me but I'm still learning a lot about databases and maintaining with this discussion so I think it was a worthy discussion.
Seeing your other comments on this post, I urge you to think twice about embarking on whatever it is you're about to attempt, because it is clear you have no idea what's in store for you. I really don't mean it as a demeaning thing, what you're describing is hard.
I suggest looking into a postgres tutorial first and foremost, it will teach you the basics of DBMS and how to use SQL, and when you understand that and what the database does for the applications you're used to, revisit this project. Being a database administrator is a literal full time job in the enterprise world, and for good reason, and you don't sound like you know enough about it to go in guns blazing.
No worries I'm not the person to jump in head first, clearly.
