IMHO market share in dollars for sales of database server software on
linux isn't that relevant if probably more than 90% or 95% of database
installs on linux are gratis or at least relatively cheap (MySQL,
PostgreSQL, etc.).  Less than 5% is what I would call a niche player,
not a market leader.  Or: how to lie with statistics...  ;-)
