Hey thanks for reading, I'm the author of the piece. The original went through a couple rounds of edits since it's on the company page but PM if you want the original :)
- justinclift 9y agoCare to correct the inaccuracies? At least eg "the most popular open-source database in the world"
- redwood 9y agoHow would this be disputed?
- justinclift 9y agoSQLite (and likely BDB among others) are far more popular and widespread than MySQL installations. Literally every single Mac, iDevice, Windows 10 PC, Android phone/tablet includes SQLite. That's just for starters.
- redwood 9y agoOh I see. Popular as in number of software installs, rather than development effort, amount of data under management, amount of developer mindshare building and maintaining apps against it, that kind of thing. Fair but generally SQLite and MySQL are not considered the same class of engine so the wording could have been slightly more clear "most popular open source database server" or similar
- justinclift 9y agoAgreed. It should definitely be clarified to at least "database server". The other potential metrics you mention as well, not really sure MySQL would come out front on (m)any of them either. ;)
- redwood 9y agoWell according to DB Engines Ranking anyway
