in thread My first MySQL database

Why would you suggest a different database? I was just told to use MySQL a few days ago (too many people saying too many different things, lol).

    Because PostgreSQL is a baby Oracle, with views, transactions, triggers, nested subselects, full SQL92 datatypes, etc etc. MySQL is now playing "catch up" with PostgreSQL, and I'm not clear that it will ever finish catching up, because it might have to break compatibility.

      I'm not sure if it matters but whatever I'm going to accomplish with databases isn't going to be huge or complex. Thanks for the idea, I'll check that site out.
