Primary Database:
Postgres 11%
Mysql 31.8%
Oracle 21.6%
I found the 2009 results:
Postgres 9.9%
Mysql 27.7%
Oracle 27.3%
Postgres beat out sql server. Of course, eclipse is heavily skewed
towards java which is going to be very lightweight on the ms stack for
obvious reasons.
I think the main takeaways are:
*) open source solutions continuing to gain strength in the marketplace
*) oracle is the big loser (the word 'hemorrhaging' comes to mind)
*) mysql/postgres are the only open source players ('other@5.4%)
*) mysql license issues/development issues have apparently not
impacted it in terms of developer mindshare
*) postgres is growing. 9.0 hs/sr I suspect will have a dramatic impact.
