Camilo> Doesn't PostgreSQL have a reputation as being somewhat pokey? Only for older versions. Modern versions benchmark as fast or faster than MySQL for equivalent tasks. And modern versions of course can do a lot more than MySQL is. MySQL is a "structured flat file", while PostgreSQL is "oracle [a real database] without the price". Camilo> Is it open source? Yes, completely. And for me, it was a lot easier to install than any recent MySQL. No dependencies on three or four other packages just to get it to run. Anyway, I'm just about phased out of all uses of MySQL, and I'll be recommmending PostgreSQL and *only* PostgreSQL for any future installations for my customers looking for a good open source DB. MySQL bigots will have to continue to live in the past. :) (I was one a year ago, but Pg just blitzed past MySQL in the past year, and if you haven't seen 7.1.x, you've not seen Pg at all!) -- Randal L.
