Dear Readers,

I recently attended a group meeting of users of the ONTOS OODB. It was stated that the vendors of this OODB had the greatest portion of the market, esp. in
the UK and US. I should like to take a poll to find the following info. :-
	1. how many compoanies groups have invested in OODB's?
	2. which OODB have people chosen? why?
	3. what percentage each product has of the market.

I realise that this is a very qualitive hand waving activity, but it might give
an indication of relative popularity of OODB's.

Obviously, I will sumarise my results to the group if sufficient interest is
shown.

Regards

Brian
