Oh 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
