As a database newbie, I am curious which to use. I want to set up a customer database for my wife's company. The db will store customer demographic information, to be used for contacting them, but also to tie into order fulfillment and other areas as we grow. I have used SugarCRM, to some extent. I know I need to upgrade my current Sugar installation...Should I just go with it, instead of trying to build something from scratch for MySQL or PG?
