Обсуждение: Postgres demographics?
Has anybody collected information about what people use Postgres how and to do what? I think it would be interesting to see where our Collective got its roots. Personally, I came from a PHP background using MySQL. An eCommerce (oh, I hate that word) project stretched the limits of MySQL and Postgres fit the bill very nicely. I was somewhat hesitant due to the massive anti-Postgres propaganda spread by just about everybody, but I am glad I made the switch and would not consider using MySQL for any but the simplest and least likely to grow project. Hats off to -core and to other developers as well as to the community. We have a Good Thing. gh

Great Bridge conducted a survey of current Postgres users in May 2000 (n=343), with lots of good info on the environments used, types of applications, users, etc. We're happy to share the results with the community at: http://www.greatbridge.com/surveys/pgsurvey0500.php Regards, Ned On Thu, 7 Dec 2000, GH wrote: > Has anybody collected information about what people use Postgres how and > to do what?
