i want to know which data structure(AVL, B-Tree, etc...) is used in most popular relational databases. and also in what way the data structure is superior than other in-class data structures? if possible a small comparison could help me a lot! thanks in advance!

Arrays. An array is the simplest and most widely used data structure. Other data structures like stacks and queues are derived from arrays.
As of August 2022, the most popular database management system (DBMS) in the world was Oracle, with a ranking score of 1260.8; MySQL and Microsoft SQL server rounded out the top three.
SQL databases are perfectly suited for storing and processing structured data, while NoSQL databases are the best solution for working with unstructured or semi-structured data.
The most popular database in the world is Oracle according to DB-Engine ranking. Oracle is followed by MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB in the ranking. The following table lists world's most popular databases and their rankings.
It's usually B-tree or variants thereof, primarily because it packs nodes into blocks, unlike binary trees such as AVL.
A node of a B-tree has a fixed maximum size and holds multiple keys and multiple pointers to child nodes, meaning fewer blocks need to be retrieved from disk to look up a value (compared to a binary tree).
The Wikipedia article on B+ trees has a good introduction from the angle of its application to databases.
