Note that ‘Best Enterprise Database’ doesn’t have the ‘Java’ moniker that other categories too.

And, I don’t think that you can say Oracle/DB2/Sybase are exactly WRITTEN in Java. A lot of these DB’s have the ability to run Java within etc…

I’m not saying the awards are perfect but MySql and Postgres are not written in Java. I always thought the awards were for stuff actually written in Java or at least have more to do with Java than having a JDBC driver.

I tried – a number of times, in fact – to float ways that the JDJ awards could be repaired. Yet, as usual… the awards are ludicrous. I personally preferred the editor’s choice awards, but I can’t imagine why….
