I know nothing about db* but I use both MySQL and PostGreSQL on a regular basis. I like them both. I prefer the licence used by PostGreSQL, I prefer the PostGreSQL replication but I use whichever suits my needs. Some people are fanatical about one or the other, I say pick whichever you're more interested in and learn how to use it. kmw
