Strongly I sympathize the comment "it depends on the purpose of
the database".
It would be possible to find the script(s) used in the official
documents made by the current government of a country, but the
definition "common use" would be slightly difficult. Many factors
can change the popularity of the script; the policy of national
language education, the availability of paper & printed matters,
the popular stationary (or equipments) to make a document.
Of course, if the scope is changed from "commonly used in written
or printed document" to "commonly used in computerized document",
the popularity would be changed too.
