Hi Sarah,
I can't say much about the difference between PostGreSQL and MySQL. I
have been using MySQL 4 and 5 and have been particularly happy with
release 5. I just can't think of a reason to switch to PostGreSQL. I
have also noticed that most, if not all, web providers provide MySQL,
but not all of them provide PostGreSQL. If you want to stick with a
particular SQL flavour or need compatibility in case you want to go on-
line with a project some time in the future, I'd choose MySQL.
Regarding the pronunciation, try this: <http://www.postgresql.org/files/postgresql.mp3
>.

Hi All,
I'm working on a system that will end up using a multi-user database
served from a central system. While testing I am using SQLite which is
great as I can test all my SQL commands without having to worry about
the additional complication of server connections. When that all works
I will transfer it to MySQL running under MAMP on my desktop and
finally over to the server.
I run a pure OS X shop so I was going to go with MySQL for the final
database as it is a standard part of OS X server. However I have read
posts on this list suggesting that PostgreSQL is a better solution. So
here are a few questions for the exports:
1. Is PostgreSQL better & why?
2. Is it easy to install on OS X (client & server)
3. How do you say PostgreSQL :-)
My system is going to be a relatively small database and not subject
to heavy usage, if that makes any difference to the recommendations.
TIA,
Sarah
