[NTLUG:Discuss] MYSql vs. postgresql

[Wayne Dahl]

Hi guys.  My wife and I are considering starting a business and will
need a database.  Any recommendations in the Linux realm?  What are the
pros and cons of both MYSql and postgresql?  How hard are they to
migrate to a different machine when hardware needs upgrading?  What
about front end clients for each?  Since both are included in my distro
(RH8.0), I would like your input before we begin setting things up.

Also, do you have any recommendations for companies that do web
site/domain hosting and why (why this company as opposed to that
company)?

Thanks again,

Wayne
