You can probably get a reasonable sense of the differences by looking at
section VI of the manual -- it's basically the "man page" version of every
SQL statement.
That said, I _very strongly_ encourage you to read the whole manual, at
least once. It's admittedly a bit of a slog, but there are a number of deep
conceptual differences between PostgreSQL and MySQL that will possibly bite
you unless you are prepared for them. Better to be prepared than to be up
at 3 AM :)
If you are not familiar with MySQL's "strict mode", then the above is even
more important. If you _are_ familiar with strict mode, then think of
PostgreSQL as strict mode done properly, and which you can't shut off.
There are also some MySQL-to-PostgreSQL comparison sites around that you'll
want to read.
