Curiously, I see PostgreSQL is not even on the ballot I see at
the site above for Best Linux Database ... could be a browser
config issue, but I do see the other popular linux dbs listed...

I don't see PostgreSQL either. That seems very odd as we are the second
widest used OSS database on Linux.

Yeah, they might as well just put up a graph of advertising dollars by
database instead of these poll results ;-)

There's nothing curious about it.
PostgreSQL isn't paying them any advertising dollars, and isn't a
"commercial product" that people pay dollars for.
If you review the items on the "ballot," you'll find a virtually
complete absence of "free software" on the list of products for people
to vote for.
This particular poll isn't about "open source" or "free software;" it
is about what are the most popular _commercial products_ for Linux.
_Pervasive PostgreSQL_ or _Mammoth PostgreSQL_ would be the relevant
_products_ to suggest, not the "free software" database, PostgreSQL.

The poll isn't about "OSS"; it's a popularity contest for proprietary
software that runs on Linux.

It's interesting to see that MySQL is only third at the moment.
