Folks,
The survey currently up is way out of date. Here's replacement suggestions.
It would also be great if David could announce new surveys in PWN.
===========
OS: it's been a while since we did a server OS survey:
Q: On what operating system are the largest or most of your production or
chief development PostgreSQL servers running?
-- Red Hat Linux
-- Debian/Ubuntu
-- Other Linux
-- Windows
-- Solaris
-- FreeBSD
-- Other OS
==========
App type:
Q: What is the database task for which you primariy use PostgreSQL in
production?
-- OLTP / e-commerce
-- Web content management
-- Web 2.0 applications
-- Data warehousing
-- Monitoring & Security
-- Several / all of the above
-- Do not use PostgreSQL in production
===========
Version:
Q: Which version of PostgreSQL are most of your servers currently deployed on?
-- 7.2 or earlier
-- 7.3
-- 7.4
-- 8.0
-- 8.1
-- 8.2
-- Latest CVS snapshot, yeah!
============
Upgrades
Q: When do you upgrade your main machines after a new PostgreSQL release?
-- I upgrade during beta
-- Immediately after .0 comes out
-- I wait for the .1 release
-- 1-3 months
-- 4-9 months
-- I'm generally 1 or 2 versions behind
-- Whenever my OS supports the new version
-- Never

As a first choice, I'd say the upgrade survey. Second, I'd choose app-type.

I don't know where the survey is, but I hate those things online.
They're dumb because the sample qualification is both self-selected
and unknown. Can't we dump it?
