Depends on what you mean.  If flatfile databases count, and if
you measure amount of usage by number of databases, then it's
definitely awk.  Even if you measure amount of usage by number of
transactions, and if flatfile databases count, then it's awk.

If you restrict attention to RDBMS systems, I recall a rather old
survey in Unix World where Unify was tops.  I don't know what
it'll be today.
