And this survey would have been a lot more interesting if you had included non-SQL Server DB's as well. And what about all the other flavors of SQL Server, like Express, CE, Compact...

OK, bad wording, and in the spirit of 'it's a pulbic holiday and I'm pretending not to actually be at work' I've nuked it.
Maybe next time I should (a) proof read, and (b) just reply with "Repost!"

 I thought about that, and figured I'd do my usual Marc'ish behavior and go for the jugular. Shog9 was too polite.

I agree. I'd like do know how many people/companies/customers are using "SQL CompactEdition".
Also it would be interesting who is using MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, ...

SQLite is quickly becoming my favorite mini SQL DBMS. I just wish it had some more oomph in JOIN selects.

Maybe people? 
You yell SQL queries at them and they throw sheets of data back at you.

Ah, the Soylent Green database.

I do that all the time, mostly to slow down the person making the request so they stop bugging me & learn that every question/task they give me they will be overloaded with queries (& I dont adhere to the timeout=3000000). 
Would love to see a survey on who is using MS vs Non-MS databases (I understand there is a context in which you would make that decision to).

I wonder how reliable the data is, and whether this setup is fully ACID compliant...

Why not include SQL Compact in the survey? I'm using it more often than any other listed database.

2005 is a great product, but I would go back for the management tools alone. The new ones are crappy (IMHO, people, IMHO). Nice pecks...

---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

They have always been the same! (for the severely dyslectic!)
Without SQLite I would probably not have been writing this in the comfort of my own home. I would probably still have been at work trying to figure out how to get SQL Express to work on a 700 Mhz VIA CPU with 512 MB ram, and a very slow 2.5" IDE hard drive...
