LinuxDev.Net is currently conducting a poll of "The Most Popular DBMS", at http://linuxdev.net. Currently, PostgreSQL ia in second place, with 21 out of 84 votes, while MySQL is in first with 33... Even if you aren't using Linux, take a minute and make your vote...we like to see PostgreSQL on top, no? :) Marc G.

You people are harsh *and* devious. (Yes, I've now voted. Solaris is kind of like Linux. At least I use a lot of GNUware.) It's now 28 to 35 out of 93 votes.

It's now 28 to 35 out of 93 votes. 66 to 37 last I checked...and why devious? :) > > On Mon, 2 Aug 1999, The Hermit Hacker wrote: > > > > > LinuxDev.Net is currently conducting a poll of "The Most Popular DBMS", at > > http://linuxdev.net.

We're up to 122 votes and in first place! Brett W.

hi i'm not a Linux user, but an OpenBSD user. recently Louis Bertrand posted some requests for assistance in getting ODBC support to work on the postgres port to openbsd. i didn't see many responses to his requests, though I saw lots of discussions re: Linux problems. I'd like to use PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem like there is much interest from this community in assisting an OpenBSD developer. I'll change databases before I change OS's.

I think your plea for votes worked :-) -- Peter T Mount peter@retep.org.uk Main Homepage: http://www.retep.org.uk PostgreSQL JDBC Faq: http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres Java PDF Generator: http://www.retep.org.uk/pdf
Nothing strange - MySQL is the best free (and not only free) tool for the fast search engines (when you do not need the full SQL), and PSQL is the only stable free full (almost full) SQL DBA.
