I always liked MySQL however that's the opinion of one man. Try them both, in the end, you must decide.

i dont think i can try them both in depth so as to understand their advantages and flaws in a short period of time. thats exactly why asked opinions of others who may have used these extensively.
i have just used postgresql to a small extent. has anyone used both??
even if no one has used both still you can suggest one option and tell me the reason as to why you recomend it.
thanks in advance for all your time!!
c ya!!
