Yep, I understand that. That's why I wanted to know if there are similar
statistics available on the net.
One of the major concerns I often get from high school or university
students is that they "barely found PostgreSQL job advertised", hence they
prefer to invest on other RDBMS. I always reply with concepts like SQL
standard high compliance, transferrable skills, multi-platform availability
- which make a good impression. But still, when students see hundreds of
jobs for the competitors and barely none for PostgreSQL, it is very hard to
juggle with it. :)
And the *total* number of listings in the survey was apparently less than
> 100.
Mhhh ... I had not seen those numbers and yep ... if I sum them I get a
number slightly above 100 (supply)/below 100 (demand).
So, "sample error".
Yep. :)
Thanks,
Gabriele
