Thread: Cast your vote ...
Just got this in my mailbox: 2002 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=78a8c06fbc1dcecd52597decd6c56ad8&threadid=39870 And we are way behind MySQL (like, d'ah!): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/poll.php?s=78a8c06fbc1dcecd52597decd6c56ad8&action=showresults&pollid=168 The problem, of course, is that you have to be a registered member to vote, so its not an 'open poll' ...
Hmmm...I wonder if this will mean we'll be accused of "ballot stuffing" in the MySQL lists again... It is a newbie forum, so I'm not surprised that MySQL is way ahead. The poll is a bit of a joke anyway. The poll needs to have two questions: 1. Which of these databases have you ACTUALLY USED? 2. Which of these databases is your favourite? That'll sort it out.

Registration is easy, and pretty much anonymous... worth to promote our beloved database. :) Happy New Year, Daniel >>>"Marc G.

Its free to register, so really its to try and stop people voting twice. They don't even want that much data just your E-Mail address. (The rest is optional) The problem with Web Polls is that people can always vote more than once making any result totally meaning less what ever you do. Ensuring an election is anoumous, free and fare is VERY difficult. Peter Childs
Yeah, the registration was painless and enough options to disable it annoying you. Count my vote cast for PostgreSQL. I encourage everyone else to do the same. In the big picture, marketing statements like this survey mean alot more than most technical folks want to acknowledge. Please vote for your favorite database.

The figures would be a lot more interesting anyway if people bothered to correlate results with user bases. A vote from someone who knows several of the contending products means a lot more to me than one from someone who hasn't seen aything else. > Coincidentally, I've just started up a voting script project... see > http://polls.unixathome.org/ Does it support hanging chads?
