I will use this as experience to implement one on a larger scale at work. After looking at Web sites and scanning the FreeBSD mail list archives, I have narrowed my choice down to mySQL or PostgreSQL. I am leaning toward PostgreSQL but my understanding is that mySQL has better performance. I am soliciting input from people who have used one or both of these programs as to their experiences and opinions about which one someone new to SQL should start with. Also, which one works best with FreeBSD? I am running FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE.
