Hope to question something...
May I have more information about the purpose of this polling? Is it trying to collect the information of our existing market sharing, or trying to find out what other type of databases are we interesting?
If it is target for existing market sharing, I would like to suggest include MySQL and PgSQL only within this polling, as they are our currently "officially" supported databases. Anyway, we may simply guess about ~90% of MySQL and ~10% for PgSQL. It should be our existing status with no question :)
BTW, if this poll is target for our hidden market, I would like to suggest NOT include MySQL and PgSQL. On the other hand, some databases are target for enterprise (e.g. Oracle, DB2, MSSQL, Interbase, Informix, etc), I would also question if they would know about this poll, register as drupal.org user, and finally give an effective vote for this issue :(
Finally, I would like to suggest complete this poll by referencing ADOdb supported database list (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/, http://phplens.com/adodb/supported.databases.html). This should include most database backend that we should able to support by using PHP.

Paradox ?
I, for one, would be really interested in seeing how someone connected Drupal to Paradox, seeing how Paradox support in PHP is limited (http://fr.php.net/manual/en/ref.paradox.php), and not even supposed to be interoperable with Paradox-the product.
