I just find it surreal that anyone cares about how ingres relates to mySQL 
when it's pretty clear that in comparison with other databases nobody wants 
ingres developers.

In my experience demand for mySQL development is usually lumped in with some 
other technology and I suspect it's asked for more than those figures may 
show, though I may be wrong.

I think that the figures are really showing what a niche product ingres has 
sadly become.

Before long we'll be encountering people asking about our painting 
abilities..
