RE: [edlug] Mandrake 9 & Database (MySQL PostgreSQL)

MySQL would be my first choice. Much bigger user base.
It is used commercially everywhere, and I am sure you can get an RPM for
it
(I use debian so don't know about these things). 

Check out mysql.com.

Postgresql if you need a commit database. 

Check out 
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

A great web based GUI you can use. But there are plenty others
specifically for mysql.

Hi

I looking to install either MySQL or PostgreSQL on Mandrake 9.0.

Form looking on the web etc the both same to be the same for ease of
use/install procedure and running as each other.

As I am only installing to get a feel for running a database on a linux
 system, so not worried about running performance. 

I am wondering if anybody has a view as to which if any is best suited
for a
newbie to linux on a Mandrake 9.0.

Areas of interest are :-

Text & GUI
OBDC
