Never used Postgresql, so cannot comment about it. I like MySQL a lot
though. The online docs are excellent and the user mailing list is
friendly and helpful. And of course MySQL integrates nicely w/ Apache and
PHP3. Also, Postfix supports MySQL based user tables. Same with ProFTP
(if they ever get the security issues ironed out...) I don't know if the
same can be said for postgresql. For MySQL info you should visit
http://www.mysql.com if you've not already.
