PostgreSQL Powers All New Apps for 77% of the Database's Users - Seite 2

Database Migrations, Replacements

EDB believes the findings also support statements in a recent Gartner report that reflect the widespread acceptance of open source databases. "By 2018, more than 70% of new in-house applications will be developed on an OSDBMS, and 50% of existing commercial RDBMS instances will have been converted or will be in process," according to the April 2015 Gartner report, The State of Open-Source RDBMs, 2015.*

Among Postgres users, the survey findings show, migrations are already under way with 37% reporting they had migrated applications from Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server to Postgres. Many users were still planning further migrations, with 37% of PostgreSQL users saying they will gradually replace their legacy systems with Postgres, compared to 29% who said that in the 2013 survey. Further, end users predict their deployments of Postgres will expand significantly, with 32% saying they anticipate production deployments of Postgres to increase by at least 50% over the next year.

The survey, conducted by EnterpriseDB using an online tool in May 2015, queried registered users of PostgreSQL and drew 274 respondents worldwide from government organizations and companies ranging in size and industry.

*Gartner, The State of Open-Source RDBMs, 2015, by Donald Feinberg and Merv Adrian, was published on April 21, 2015.
