A little painful that they didn't mention PostgreSQL, but they do here:
http://www.evansdata.com/n2/surveys/database/2005_1/db_05_1_xmp1.shtml
They only mention it briefly, but they say that PostgreSQL is for larger
deployments, which is great.

Jeff Davis

Found a follow up article which notes that 90% of the respondents used
windows. Given that postgresql garnered 14% of the "market", that would
mean that we got even 4% of windows users which imo is pretty good for
pre-8.0 postgresql.

FWIW, I am an Evans survey-ee. I'm more than a little puzzled by the
article, as I don't recall having even seen FireBird as an option on any
survey I've seen recently. I'm sure Firebird has gotten write-ins, but 50%?
I wonder if they're getting the browser and the database mixed up?
Still, this is good news for the FireBird folks, they need the news coverage.
Way to go!

Actually it doesn't surprise me. How much you want to bet those 400
database developers are using Windows?

Sorry, I just don't believe the numbers. Just google these words and look at the hits returned:
mysql: 42,700,000
oracle:34,000,000
firebird:3,400,000
postgresql: 8,650,000

Well, don't forget, that mozilla firefox was a long time also called
firebird. If you add "sql" to all that searches, look at the result now
(FWIW) ;-)
mysql sql: 8,490,000
oracle sql: 8,330,000
firebird sql: 365,000
postgresql sql: 2.740,000
db2 sql: 2,000,000
interbase sql: 397,000
Firebird is now way behind.

| I can believe those numbers if I carefully read the description of what
they are measuring.
MySQL may be popular for small web developments, but is not as popular
for real line of business tools as the other databases, IME, for obvious
reasons. I would also expect PostgreSQL to do better now with the
Windows port.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
