It's more like a Mercedes Benz (PostgreSQL) and a sporty VW (MySQL). I think anyone who works with both will say that PG is far more mature in both stability and features. I like both but PG gets my vote hands down. > Use the SQL database you are more familiar with. Maybe MySQL is easier > to handle for you, I think it is quicker for what you want to use the > DB. He makes a good point. It sounds like you are biting off a lot at one time. I would recommend going with what you now and easing yourself into this whole thing. Getting to know one sever can be a challenge to getting to know 5 (SQL, SMTP, IMAP, POP, .....) new servers is a full time job. Again, use what you know for now even if it is MS. Easing into it will help you have a better experience and keep you from going back to what you had out of frustration. P.S. Keep your eyes out for PostgreSQL 8.0. It will be out any day now.
