LewisC's Database Survey
Answers marked with a * are required.
1. LewisC's Database Survey
  All questions are optional. Please complete the demographics section as that makes the data much more useful.

If you enter a company name, it will be masked before the data is released. The company name will only be used to connect multiple users from the same company. No company name will be made publicly available.

The Email ID is strictly to allow me to email the results to you. As thanks for answering this, I will email you the results if you do choose to enter an email address. Your email ID will never be made public, will not be part of the downloadable data and will not be used or sold for anything other than sending you the data.

All data, including all of the raw data (minus the email ID and with company name masked) will be released on the internet as a free download to anyone who wants it.
