I've been using MySQL/PHP for quite some time. Several months ago, I
wanted to port a project over to PostgreSQL. I found everything about pg
(eg the website, documentation, installation process) far less straight

From the php.net manual for pg_fetch_array:
Note: From 4.1.0, row became optional. Calling pg_fetch_array() will
increment internal row counter by 1.

I've recently had the 'pleasure' of porting a large MySQL application to
support PostgreSQL, through that experience I've gained some insight into the
differences between the two as well as how they are supported by PHP.
First allow me to point out that MySQL support in PHP is a lot more

That's interesting. I actually never used Postgres on production
environments, so... How often does it melt? And is there a known reason
