Drifting a bit off-topic perhaps, but I thought this was interesting (we love lists after all, and both your (lightweight?) db's are in the list too).

Below is this month's list from a (apparently) monthly updated list of database "popularity" (measured by mentions on google, bing, by job offers, and some other things).

I haven't looked much at the scoring precedure yet.

There is the expected top-3, with the expected downward trend of "Big" Oracle. That the trend of "Small" Oracle (=mysql) is still upward is therefore surprising. (Then again, these numbers are over a single month; I should probably look further back for real trends)

There is a huge gap between mysql and postgres, numbers 3 and 4. One would expect that that gap is closing; this is obviously not happening in these month's numbers. Ah well...

PostgreSQL has overtaken both DB2 and MS-Access in the last 6 months. Surprising, as I had expected DB2 to be much higher on any such list.

Anyway, the whole list is here. (They also seem to publish blog posts discussing the changes every now and then, like here)

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
