MySQL is blazingly fast and perfect for a web back-end, but is woefully lacking in functionality compared to something like DB2. (By "functionality", I mean things like cursors, transactions, triggers, server-side stored procedures, etc. that both PostgreSQL and DB2 have). > Also, are there any GUI tools that will aid in creating tables and stuff > for either of the two open source databases mentioned?

Most new Unix applications today use a web page interface. PHP3 is easy to use and interfaces well with the Apache web server via the mod_php3 interface. I believe this is available in ports and packages already pre-done.
