Just google these words and look at the hits returned: mysql: 42,700,000 oracle:34,000,000 firebird:3,400,000 postgresql: 8,650,000 -- Robert Bernier PostgreSQL Business Intelligence Analyst, SRA AMERICA (Formerly of One WTC) Consulting, PostgreSQL Services & PowerGres on Windows One Penn Plaza, Suite 1910 New York, NY 10119 Tel: 212.244.8833

If you add "sql" to all that searches, look at the result now (FWIW) ;-) mysql sql: 8,490,000 oracle sql: 8,330,000 firebird sql: 365,000 postgresql sql: 2.740,000 db2 sql: 2,000,000 interbase sql: 397,000 Firebird is now way behind.

I can believe those numbers if I carefully read the description of what they are measuring. MySQL may be popular for small web developments, but is not as popular for real line of business tools as the other databases, IME, for obvious reasons. I would also expect PostgreSQL to do better now with the Windows port. Best Wishes, Chris Travers Michael Paesold wrote: > Robert Bernier wrote > >> Sorry, I just don't believe the numbers.

Given that postgresql garnered 14% of the "market", that would mean that we got even 4% of windows users which imo is pretty good for pre-8.0 postgresql.

I'm more than a little puzzled by the article, as I don't recall having even seen FireBird as an option on any survey I've seen recently. I'm sure Firebird has gotten write-ins, but 50%? I wonder if they're getting the browser and the database mixed up? Still, this is good news for the FireBird folks, they need the news coverage.
