   As far as ease of learning I'd say they're a tossup, six in one hand,
half-dozen in the other (not saying I'm an expert in either:-).  Both have
excellent manuals and tutorials.  Apache and PHP3 will happily get along
with either of them.

   MySQL is faster, but at the sake of some redundancy/features.  MySQL also
has a quirky, non-free license.

   PostgreSQL is slower but is a fuller SQL implementation.  It's also DFSG
free.
