I'll look into the ideas you put out there, which will probably lead to more questions. And just so I don't seem like a complete idiot, let me say that I am aware that I am re-installing phppgadmin (which administers PostgreSQL dbs) after an install of MySQL. I can't explain why this is so, but when I went to pkg_delete the MySQL client 4.0 package, it told me that it could not because (of all things) phppgadmin depended upon it. Why that is, I couldn't tell you, but when I uninstalled phppgadmin, I was able to uninstall (and then upgrade) the MySQL client successfully. The irony of all of this is that I am a heavy user of postgres, but I onl= y recently decided to upgrade MySQL to use it with a blog. Previously, I hadn't really used it. Now, as a result, I have to manage my postgres install through the command line until I get this fixed.
