This is the 5th post on publishing the results of the java survey I ran recently where I asked developers on tools/frameworks they used in the last 12 months. Respondants had the option to choose from a predefined list of options or select Others and provide any other choice.
Here’s the list of topics covered in the survey:
- Languages
- Web Frameworks
- Application Servers
- Data Access Tools for SQL
- SQL Databases
- Big Data
- Build Tools
- Cloud Provider
In the previous post we covered tools to access SQL databases, now it’s time to cover the SQL databases themselves.
