It used to be true, but really isn't any more. I recommend that people use what they know, and if they know neither, then learn postgresql. Its feature set is better, and the documentation for its SQL queries is closer to the ANSI standard. IMO, knowledge of postgresql translates to other servers better than the reverse. --Apple-Mail-2--178200468 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <HTML><BODY style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; = -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV><DIV>On Jun 2, 2005, at = 12:41 AM, Robert Penz wrote:</DIV><BR = class=3D"Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type=3D"cite"><DIV = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">mysql is = faster and postgresql has more features. for storing only account data = (which is only one table) use mysql.
