The other thing is that Hibernate makes it so easy to switch out databases, Oracle’s probably worried about the lack of lock-in for the next time they raise the yearly maintenance fees

Behrang, I agree. Even a straw poll carried out at JavaOne next year would be helpful. I think I’ll ask at the next London Java meetup…

I think the results of the voting are true but because the Oracle users participate more in it (I think) the results are so in favour of Oracle…

I’d like to see such a voting in an independent website like JavaWorld, OnJava, or even JavaBlogs…

FWIW, I just finished a little project that used Castor’s JDO implementation to write to Postgres.

The most common I see used, in order, are: EJB CMP, EJB BMP, Hibernate, OJB, TopLink, Various JDO impls, Cayenne, Cocobase (yes, people use this despite Warren). This is very informal and unscientific, however.
