PostgreSQL Answer 1) You can use any database to which you have access. Many languages (e.g. perl) provide an abstraction layer so that changing the database program is easy. Answer 2) You can use either one, or install others, e.g. sqlite3. Suggestion: The administrative overhead is much less with sqlite3, so it is excellent for proof-of-concept programming. Depending on your requirements you can decide later whether to move to a heavyweight database. There are also non-SQL databases, but I have no advice there. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
