I'm wanting to learn more about database programming and SQL programming, but I'm not sure whether I should go wtih mySQL or PostgreSQL. At work we use DB2 on the AS/400 so I was thiking of using a database server that's similar to DB2. I'm not quite sure if DB2 has been open sourced (because the whole damn Linux thing), but I doubt it. And I also doubt that there will be a *BSD port of DB2 anytime soon. So.... MySQL or PostreSQL? Which would you recomend for a database newbie? Also, are there any GUI tools that will aid in creating tables and stuff for either of the two open source databases mentioned? If so, can you point me to their location? Thanks alot!! Your help is appreciated!!
