I think the whole thing's pretty biased anyway. I mean the open source
database market now includes SapDB for crying out loud - how can MySQL (and
even postgres really) compete with that? And what about Firebird? I think
the nominations were put forward by a bunch of people who've only ever heard
of MySQL and PostgreSQL...
(Not that I'd switch to SapDB ;) )
