Database Preferences

[VoiceOvGod]

Just out of curiosity, what database utilities do people use here, and why?

I am looking for something that will be a good starting point learning in Breezy.

MySQL is something I will be looking into soon.

I use mysql5, server, and client, with the php module.

mysql, because it's free, fast, and suitable for small to middle scaled development.

If you are really interested in databases, I suppose to try PostgreSQL - it is a lot stricter than MySQL (at least than MySQL was in the 4.0 days - I have not done a similar project since then). Otherwise go with MySQL - it's stable, reasonably fast and now even supports some of the more advanced database features (stored_procedures, triggers etc.).
