Yeah, the registration was painless and enough options to disable it annoying you. Count my vote cast for PostgreSQL. I encourage everyone else to do the same. In the big picture, marketing statements like this survey mean alot more than most technical folks want to acknowledge. Please vote for your favorite database.

The figures would be a lot more interesting anyway if people bothered to correlate results with user bases.
