Best open source db poll currently

I have to wonder if there's been some ballot stuffing on the part of
maxsql folks, since case studio only started supporting them in January
IIRC. As an aside, I use this software and it's PostgreSQL support is
pretty good, and the company itself is pretty responsive.

So, just go on that site and vote for your favorite Open Source database

Clinging to sanity, xzilla@users.sourceforge.net (Robert Treat) mumbled into her beard:

These sorts of polls are _always_ prone to ballot stuffing.

When PostgreSQL "won" the O'Really one (intentional misspelling :-)),
that was a result of "stuffing." Firebird's high showing on that one
was surely also due to ballot stuffing.

What is interesting about this one is that it demonstrates some sort
of change; in the past, I would have expected MySQL(tm) fans to stuff
in favor of that, as they are doubtless more numerous than MaxDB(tm)
fans.

The interesting question: Could this be the beginning of the
deprecation process of MySQL(tm)?

If you throw this to the pgsql-general list that 13% will blow up, showing how
stupid this polls are.

Hum! IMHO not so many people because when I click PG went from 16% to 17%
immediately.

Can we please stop wasting time on things like this? I think most
people agree these polls are a complete waste of time.

(Not to mention that posting about the poll to -advocacy totally
invalidates the polling sample anyway.)

Hi,

Be careful, It seems that only 12 click needs to add a percent !!
So It is not significative !
