Ciao Josh,
2007/11/2, Josh Berkus <josh@agliodbs.com>: Not that we *don't* need to promote PostgreSQL -- we always do -- but
I'd avoid reading too much into this. Remember, they're only surveying
*their* job listings, not job listings on the internet in general.
Yep, I understand that. That's why I wanted to know if there are similar statistics available on the net.
One of the major concerns I often get from high school or university students is that they "barely found PostgreSQL job advertised", hence they prefer to invest on other RDBMS. I always reply with concepts like SQL standard high compliance, transferrable skills, multi-platform availability - which make a good impression. But still, when students see hundreds of jobs for the competitors and barely none for PostgreSQL, it is very hard to juggle with it. :)
And the *total* number of listings in the survey was apparently less than 100.
Mhhh ... I had not seen those numbers and yep ... if I sum them I get a number slightly above 100 (supply)/below 100 (demand).
So, "sample error".
Yep. :)
Thanks,
Gabriele
