No, that survey is specific to people using PHP, and the reason for the skew is that PHP (used to) ship with built-in support for MySQL --- and no other database. I don't think you can draw any conclusions about which OS they are running on. Now that MySQL AB has put a stake through the heart of that connection by GPL'ing their client libraries, we might start to get a little better traction with PHP users... regards, tom lane
