If you’re interested in trade-offs and feature comparisons Wikipedia tends to be updated more than others.
Relational Database Comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems
NoSQL Feature Comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_structured_storage_software
If you want a more direct answer you can always post the requirements you have and you’ll get a lot of helpful answers. It’s a pretty broad subject and, other than feature comparison matrices like the ones above, you’ll mainly get subjective answers unless you have an objective question (ie specific requirements).
