G GigaCluster Golden Member Aug 12, 2001 1,762 0 0 Jul 2, 2003 #5 MySQL is the most common because it's the easiest to install and also offers commercial support. PostgreSQL is without a doubt superior to MySQL in terms of flexibility and SQL features, but I think MySQL is faster. Both are free and open-source.
