Dear @Emily
I am not sure that you have given enough information to recommend the database to anyone.
The choice of database depends on many factors.
I don’t think you plan to develop your ecommerce project yourself.
You need to choose a ready-made platform:
1. Popular platforms you need to install on your server (use MySQL): Magento, WooCommerce
2 However, to start, you can use Saas, such as Shopify or BigCommerce and you do not need to worry about the database at all.

I would suggest Woocommerce. By far its has fewer issues when compared to other databases. I have an e-commerce site with Magento database which is performing well, But I had Woocoomerce for my taxi dispatch software which is amazing.

Two popular options for e-commerce database management are MySQL and PostgreSQL. They’re well-established and reliable, and they offer a wide range of features to support your operations.
Another contender worth considering is MongoDB. It brings a different approach with its NoSQL structure, offering flexibility and scalability, which can be advantageous depending on your requirements, especially if you’re prioritizing speed and agility.
