Start here:

Off the top, and beyond Oracle classic and Rdb relational databases, there's...

MariaDB and MySQL.  (MariaDB is a MySQL fork.)  SQLite.  MIMER.  Ingres.

Not necessarily the most current versions of these are available on 
OpenVMS.  Often not.

Sybase was around, but is no longer available.

Irrespective of what I've seen listed in Wikipedia, PostgreSQL is *not* 
available for OpenVMS, and SQLite *is* available.

What works and what doesn't and what the trade-offs might be depends 
greatly on what the app requirements might be.

Whether Oracle will be porting their databases to OpenVMS x86-64 has 
not been confirned, and probably won't be until closer to the 
production release.
