Re: Firebird, MySQL rules according to Evans

I can believe those numbers if I carefully read the description of what
they are measuring.

MySQL may be popular for small web developments, but is not as popular
for real line of business tools as the other databases, IME, for obvious
reasons. I would also expect PostgreSQL to do better now with the
Windows port.
