Microsoft SQL Server
Inside Microsoft-centred organisations the relational database is usually SQL Server, closely tied to Windows, Active Directory, .NET and Power BI, and offered in Azure as Azure SQL. Database administrators and developers in corporate IT work with it daily in its T-SQL dialect. Licensing is by core, so edition and sizing choices are real design decisions rather than paperwork.
