I'm an Oracle DBA first, but I've become very comfortable with
PostGreSql as well. The two have a lot in common and a lot of
differences. MySql in contrast is more used by those here who are very
comfortable with Access. Those two have a lot in common. As for GUI's
their great, until 2AM when all you have is a telnet window and command
line. You need to master both.

I am not certain that this is the correct forum for Kudos, but
after
taking a long break from using PostgreSQL I am also delighted with how
good it is doing. I always hated the fact the it was missing table
spaced and I am also excited about Point In Time backups.
Maybe it is just because I learned PostgreSQLfirst, but I have
always
felt much more comfortable with it as opposed to mysql. But, then I
also do not like to use GUI tools much.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
