From MySQL to PostgreSQL

If you have been using MySQL for some time now and want/have to try/use PostgreSQL, here is an excellent blog post you should read.

The post goes over the fundamentals and some MySQL-specific details. Personally, I had a hard time when I first tried to install PostgreSQL. I was on a Mac and I didn't like the fact that I had to add a pgsql user to the system. If you are on a Mac and a first time pgsql user, I suggest you install debian or ubuntu on a virtual machine and do your first installation on a linux environment.
