Hello List:

 

I hope my question does not start war of the posts. This question is genuine. Please answer objectively:

 

I am test setting a Master Server (MS) with CentOS 4.3, freeRADIUS, DNS, Apache, (mySQL & PostgreeSQL), PHP, Postfix, etc. This Master Server will have all the software I we need for our operation. We will copy MS to each server and setup a load balancing servers.

 

I have very little knowledge of either PostgreeSQL or mySQL. Please advise me as to which of these two software package to use? I need some specific examples as to superiority of one package over the other. I prefer using the package which has a goof GUI database design.

 

Please help. I am posting this message to both lists. I am specifically interested in opinion of system analysts who have used both of these packages.

 

Thanks.

 

Kirti
