Обсуждение: PostgreSQL on Debian popularity
The current poll running on the Debian Administration site covers database popularity for that platform: http://www.debian-administration.org/polls/146 It's interesting to compare to a very similar poll from three years ago: http://www.debian-administration.org/polls/102 What at first appears to be a slight drop in MySQL penetration (62% to 59%) is a mistake in how the question was asked IMHO. If you just add in the MariaDB users to the MySQL count, the combined percentage goes to 61%. The relative penetration of PostgreSQL vs. MySQL hasn't changed very much during that time The only statistically significant difference is that the count of Oracle users has stayed steady at ~100 despite a general 30% increase in poll responses. Not really surprising that Oracle on Debian installs has flatlined recently, it's really not the preferred platform to run that on. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg@2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.us

It's also not clear to which Oracle database product the question refers. Debian's default installation contains an Oracle database (Berkeley DB is Priority: standard). -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99

I am certainly surprised by the lack of Postgres increase in the past three years? Are we increasingly used on other platforms but not Debian?

I'd have expected it to with all the new databases about. -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com
