There were free copies of the Linux Journal handed out to attendees outside in the hallways here at CommunityOne and I noticed that they just published this year's Readers' Choice Awards - MySQL was voted as the favourite database by 62.7% of their readers!
MySQL is not only the world's most popular open-source database,
it's your favorite as well. Although PostreSGL,
SQLite, Firebird and others registered votes, the competition was
not fierce. It doesn't hurt that MySQL runs on more than
20 different platforms.
Thanks a lot to the readers of LinuxJournal, we really appreciate the support!
