Vendor Market Share Interpretation

The data paints a picture not of a single victor, but of a highly specialized kingdom where Oracle reigns supreme, yet every niche—from PostgreSQL’s open-source stronghold to Snowflake’s cloud analytics rise and Neo4j’s graph dominance—has its own fiercely competitive ruler, proving that in today's enterprise landscape, there is no one-size-fits-all database but rather a strategic mosaic of purpose-built tools.
