How these numbers are calculated

TechLeads scans public websites and detects MySQL from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is MySQL's website count divided by the website counts of all Databases technologies we track; a site using two Databases tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 9, 2026 and update daily.
