I sincerely hope you don't consider that the sole criteria for choosing databases. Personally, I found it quite easy. apt-get install postgresqlp8.2 sudo /etc/init.d/postgres-8.2 start sudo su - postgres psql 4 whole steps. I must be forgetting something there.

And don't worry, it shouldn't take long before something truly puzzling has you back on the lists.

I don't know - it's put me off MS-SQL in a big way. Not only don't they have an apt repository for Debian, they don't even have compile instructions on their site - gcc is throwing up all sorts of errors. Maybe I'll try on intel rather than ppc... -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

But was it harder or easier than MS SQL Server? :-) -- Jorge Godoy <jgodoy@gmail.com>

Although I regard PostgreSQL as quite simple and easy to use (I find it easier than MySQL, for instance), your oversimplication won't help the potential users to evalute PostgreSQL. For instance, I typically spend a lot of time in step 5, editing pg_hba.conf and struggling to obtain the desired effect. Also, on non-Debian platforms, step 1 can be more complicated if I want other languages (I use Python a lot in my stored procedures).
