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' ...

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.

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

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?
