[pgsql-advocacy] eWeek Poll: Which database is most critical to your organization?
From

Good Day All, eWeek has posted a poll that asks which database server is most critical to your organization. The poll tracks the following databases: - IBM DB2 - Informix - Microsoft SQL Server - MySQL - Ingres - Oracle - PostgreSQL - Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise - Sybase SQL Anywhere - any object database It is interesting to note that Oracle has shown a rather large jump between yesterday and today - about 7% IIRC - a sign that the sample size of the poll should become larger. :) If you would care to vote, visit: http://www.eweek.com/article/0%2c3658%2cs=708&a=23115%2c00.asp Note: This message is being delivered to the Perl DBI, PHP general, PostgreSQL Advocacy, MySQL general and Ruby general mailing lists. However, to prevent possible and irritating cross-posting, I am delivering each message individually. :) Ciao! --zak -- __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Zak Greant <zak@mysql.com> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Advocate /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Calgary, Canada <___/ www.mysql.com 403.244.7213 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html

Heh. :) Nice to see that the PostgreSQL community rallied so well! --zak "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics." --Benjamin Disraeli
