Re: # of db servers

John,

These figures are difficult to arrive at..

two suggestions:

First, Go to the websites of these vendors.. You may get some info there..

Second, what is the real purpose of this exercise ? Is it to simply know who is selling more, or is it one the criteria in evaluating a database product ? If it's the latter, suggest you contact vendor offices directly. When they approach you, ask them about their numbers :-)

Search for vendor evaluation sites for databases too..

HTH,
Deepak
