InformationWeek 2014 State of Database Technology SurveyResearch Findings

The 956 respondents to our 2014 State of Database Technology Survey are a conservative lot. They run mission-critical systems on tried-and-true conventional databases from Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM, with little inclination to take a chance with new NoSQL offerings like PostgreSQL (with just 3% of critical loads) or MongoDB (at just 1%). In short, the databases of the 1990s are still very much alive and well in today's enterprises.
Other data points: >
> 57% of IBM DB2 users pony up for no-limit enterprise licenses vs. 41% buying by the CPU/core. >> 51% run Microsoft Access on bare metal in private datacenters.
>> 36% are very satisfied with their MySQL licensing agreements vs. 17% saying the same for their Oracle deals.
>> 13% run Hadoop, either in pilot (8%) or production (5%). An additional 21% are considering.Respondent breakdown: Respondents screened into the survey by indicating involvement with selecting, managing, or otherwise interacting with their organizations' databases. 31% have 5,000 or more employees; 23% are over 10,000. Financial services, education, and government are well-represented, and 41% are IT director/manager or IT executive management (C-level/VP) level.Want more? Visit InformationWeek Reports
