Is it newer, more common, etc.? PostgreSQL is certainly more interesting, more useful, more feature-complete (as far as Relational database servers go), more fun and what you could learn with PostgreSQL you could take to other database servers who are out to be real database servers, not the case with MySQL. AFAIK, MySQL is more common. -Roberto -- +----| http://fslc.usu.edu/ USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club |------+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net/ http://www.sdl.usu.edu/ - Space Dynamics Lab, Developer Why trying to DRINK and DRIVE, while you can SMOKE and FLY?
