No.  Like they said to me, they really don't want to install mysql, because it
lacks  some  features  you'll need for professional projects. What they really
want  is  to  support  a free db  system as backend for their upcoming support for
Enterprise  Java  Beans  (Entity  Beans).  In  fact  their first candidate was
Interbase 6, until I told them to take a look on postgresql.

So  the survey is just for information, they want to see what the users think.
That  does  not mean that they will take the "winner" of the survey, it's just
ONE parameter for their decision.

I  believe,  they  won't  take mysql, even if it gets 3 times as much votes as
postgresql.  In  my  opinion,  the  race  is  really  between  Interbase 6 and
postgresql.  I  would  like to see them support postgresql... Therefore, every
vote for postgresql is a good vote...
