FWIW here's some evidence... Craig Kersteins did a talk on the statistics across the Heroku fleet: Here are the slides from 2013 though I think there's an updated slide deck with more recent numbers out there: https://speakerdeck.com/craigkerstiens/postgres-what-they-really-use Cube shows up as the number 9 most popular extension with about 1% of databases having it installed (tied with pg_crypto and earthdistance). That's a lot more than I would have expected actually. Personally I would love to change the name because I always found the name the most confusing thing about it. It took me forever to figure out what on earth a "cube" was. It's actually a vector data type which is actually a pretty useful idea. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
