Your arguments convinced me to use latest stable PostgreSQL database.
I use CentOS 4.x (as you know it is RHEL4 compatibile) and I have
successfuly installed PostgreSQL 8.1.2 from www.postgresql.org.

And now, if I need PostgreSQL as a base for PHP aplication? Package
php-pgsql-4.3.9-3.9.rpm (distributed with CentOS/RHEL) will be works
with PostgreSQL 8.1.2?

Regards
