It seems to be based on the honor system. When you click "Rank", it
asks you what databases you're familiar with. Then you can stack rank
those databases across various questions. It's possible people could
lie and say they know about mySQL and Postgres when in reality they
don't, but hopefully the overall results would be accurate. Actually
one of the reasons I posted it here was because I was hoping more
database experts could weigh in with their opinions..

Just came across this one:

mySQL is great for embedding in applications though? Have they
not read Oracle's license?
Does it say anywhere on that site if the people surveyed know both
databases well enough to judge these questions? I can't find
anything about that, and the site also ranks gin and martial arts,
so I'm not sure sure it has much value.
I saw lots of discussion about the results shown in the website. I would
say that it is always good to have something to start with. And I vote
for it.
