Let me correct: not "using PostgreSQL" but "using other commercial databases, particularly Oracle/MySQL".
Anyway, I agree that it will require considerable perseverance to look through the list and select popular software.
ButI want to extract at least the software categories (ETL, BI, office suite, IDE, etc.) as exhaustively as possible,
andpick up a few software in each category to add support for PostgreSQL to.
The page below may be where to start, but I'm afraid I can't select software categories that have something to do with
DBMS. Therefore, I thought I need a list of software which can integrate with other DBMSs.

Yes, exactly. Once the list is prepared, I'd like to step forward to add support for PostgreSQL to those software.
I'llmake a questionnaire using Google Forms or something. But I don't yet know where to post it. How can I reach the
ITpros who are involved in determining the database to procure? Stack Overflow, DBA Stack Exchange, or elsewhere?
ShouldI post the URL of questionnaire to Twitter or Facebook using some hash tag?
