- eviks 2y agoWe're talking about database viewers/editors, not databases in general. But also databases are used plenty in consumer products, e.g., some sqlite file that stores your app's config And these are consumers: > definitely lots of devs who want easy DB access and would pay
- eirikbakke 2y agoFor CAC statistics purposes, if a database is used in a consumer product, then the customer of database-related products is the company that makes the consumer product, not the consumer themselves. "Software developer" typically refers to an occupation (whether self-employed or working for a corporation), so products for developers would also be classified as B2B rather than B2C.

Only if those devs buy it as a business, not individuals like what we're discussing here. So basically you can't get to any relevant CAC number from your link
