Re: Best open source db poll currently

Hello,

I noticed a best open source db poll on http://www.casestudio.com (left
column) where PostgreSQL is the latest currently ! :-(

So, just go on that site and vote for your favorite Open Source database
system ! :-)

Best regards,

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.

Clinging to sanity, xzilla(at)users(dot)sourceforge(dot)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 !
