* You must be wondering how to get PgSQL for win... Get it form
http://www.dbexperts.net/ (not free for win).
Oracle is free download for Linux.
PostgreSQL (or pgsql) comes free with Linux.
MySQL is available as part of PHP Triad (almost all OSs).
MS SQL comes with lots of additional features : crashes, heavy
hardware and maintenance requirements, high cost + bugs and
security problems :-)
