Along with the statistics below, you might try

http://www.mysql.com/information/users.html
and
http://www.mysql.com/information/partners.html

for some more info.

BTW, these percentages are a little off...perhaps they're slightly 
out of date. My latest calculations give me

67.88872051009%
and
93.221%

;P

Exactly 67.2341231123123%

Now really, how on earth do you expect to come up with such a
statistic?  How can you even tell when a site is database backed let
alone what database it is using?  You just can't do it.  So therefore,
sticking with the rule that 93.234% of all statistics are just made
up, I made one up for you ;-)

What proportion of sites use MySQL.

2001-01-23 Thread Andy Stowell

Hi

I am new to this list so please accept my apologies if this has been
discussed before!

One of my clients has asked me to find out a rough idea as to what
proportion of database enabled websites use the MySQL database.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy
